I have just had this conversation with someone at the gym. We were especially talking about driving & local road restrictions.
In my borough, they have definitely launched a campaign against motorists. Not the non licensed, non insured drivers of course, but all law abiding drivers. It started with the bus lanes that eliminated the handy short stay parking for when you needed to pop into a local small business. I have seen many small businesses close due to lost passing trade. This continued (under the cover of lockdowns) with the LTNs (low traffic neighbourhoods).
I’m sure the fact that many local councillors live in these places is just coincidental. What this means is that we are paying for their private roads. We are prohibited from driving down their roads but they are free to drive on ours.
The council are very happy to authorise the planning for a huge estate on every spare piece of land, however, they are surprised when there are more car owners on the borough. “We must reduce traffic” they bleat and ensure it is increasingly difficult and expensive to drive our cars.
Yes, us ever fleeced and law abiding citizens have our lives made increasingly difficult although the criminals are given an easy ride.
