4. How? Make it attractive and easy
to switch from polluting vehicles to clean ones,
to share transport,
to travel less.
to own fewer cars,

5. An idea: Reclaim our streets
Reducing parking is a fair and effective way to help reduce traffic
Lets reclaim our streets for
Parks, “parklets” and greenery
Pedestrians: wider pavements.
Cycleways and bike parking.
e-scooters and “Micromobility”
Focus road space on
Deliveries, essential workers, the disabled, car clubs, eV charging points, public transport
Pay for much better public transport by increasing charges for:
Private carparks (especially in the central zone)
Parking on public streets
Illegal pavement parking
Dropped curbs
Better uses for our streets
