I completely support proper mobility infrastructure and I’m glad to see you coming around to it too.
Cluttered might be a bit of an overstatement, but the point of those machines using pavements remains. At my age, it’s hard to get out of the way when youths are doing wheelies in my direction, as happened recently walking from my parked mild hybrid to the CBS Arena.
Mind you:-

It's getting to be word wild tbf all major cities are going this way, makes you wonder why they have these loopholes or rental schemes in the first place, but you no what,if it's so hard to get around, they'll be behind the curve again?Cluttered might be a bit of an overstatement, but the point of those machines using pavements remains.

What about a mum taking her three precious offspring to school? Or taking a neurosurgeon to work?A bus van or lorry is providing far more utility than taking one man to the shops. Road space is limited. We aren’t built for everyone to drive a tank around.
4 miles in the the morning was a the way to go go in the sixties in the middle of winter,and of course you'd probably walk it first?What about a mum taking her three precious offspring to school? Or taking a neurosurgeon to work?
Why do people commute so far? Is it because governments have increased the costs of moving home to live nearer work?
why do people take their kids to school in a car, I walked or cycled (road not pavement)?

Road space isn't helped by creating cycle lanes and then not insisting that cyclists use them. Madness.A bus van or lorry is providing far more utility than taking one man to the shops. Road space is limited. We aren’t built for everyone to drive a tank around.
3000 seperate cars make the journey up Sewell highway every match ,why is there negligible lol provision, private enterprise must have something to do with it,No?Mum should walk the kids it’s better for everyone, and as soon as possible the kids should take themselves by bike or safe public transport. Housing and transport should be cheap enough and reliable enough and WFH common enough for people to access good quality work wherever they choose or have to live. These have always been my base positions.
We’ve increasingly built a society around the car, as a sort of America lite. Birmingham is the least walkable city on the planet outside the US or something ridiculous. Part of reversing that is better transport infrastructure, but some of it is going to be making it more costly to make those needless journeys.

The X5 was the vehicle that sprung to mind, or the Q7. They are vast!Bigger is not always best,if you're confronted with a BMW X5 , it's quite a challenge to get out of a parking space or passing on a street with parked cars down both sides, risking damage to said vehicles, making room!
I know you are very committed to this topic but
Schools have been closed and amalgamated in the name of “efficiency” and aren’t so close to home.
Stamp duty is a huge disincentive to moving, especially compared to the little more than the admin cost it was when I was young
WFH will never be available to great swathes of the population. AI will probably replace many jobs that can be wfh.
I hate those American style pick up trucks, they are huge and always seem to be driven really aggressively.The X5 was the vehicle that sprung to mind, or the Q7. They are vast!
Chances are you won't meet one on a suburban rd?I hate those American style pick up trucks, they are huge and always seem to be driven really aggressively.
While we are at it, can we ban caravans and motorhomes too, they take up a lot of space on the road.
American style pick up trucks you regularly will, and they take up one and a half spaces in a car park.Chances are you won't meet one on a suburban rd?
Think I must be missing something, not quite seeing the joke in tackling violence against women and girlsThis is hilarious.
He’s backing a presidential candidate found guilty of sexual abuse, which says it all.Think I must be missing something, not quite seeing the joke in tackling violence against women and girls
If you knew the status Tate enjoys among teenage boys at the moment then I doubt you’d be saying that. Will be a great day when social media falls on its arse.This is hilarious.

Andrew Tate? There is a much more obvious situation to be addressed.
Nandy said the government had begun nudging potential philanthropists to invest in the areas they came from – something she has seen happen in Wigan, where the owner of the football and rugby league clubs, Mike Danson, has invested in the community. “We’re actively pursuing a strategy that will build that network and then connect it to those communities,” she said.
AGE UK have already told them they have got it wrong in relation to winter fuel payment.This sounds a bit like the Big Society
Lisa Nandy announces plan to restore charities to ‘centre of national life’
Culture secretary says civil society groups should ‘tell government when we’re getting it wrong’www.theguardian.com
They have got no ideas because they're wedded to austerity. They're looking to go back to Victorian times it seems:
Sorry Lisa, unlike Lever or Cadbury, companies in the UK are now owned by BlackRock.

There was an interesting tv Programme about how the costs have been massaged and Misrepresented.Have been following the HS2 fb site - they have a number of their own enforcers - make one negative comment and they are on you trolling how stupid your opinion is - they have been trained to give answers made up by their or department and demean any comments made by outsiders even if they are entitled to their own opinion - I timed a response in my last comment less than 2 mins to respond

Had this happen to me multiple times, test results that never made it from one part of the system to my GP being the most common. The most comical instance was when the doctor wanted me to go immediately to Walsgrave and gave me a handwritten letter to take because he had no other way of getting the information to them.
Attitude to data sharing in the NHS is one of my real bugbears. Literal deaths for zero benefit other than assuaging peoples baseless Enemy of the State type fears.
To be clear this is sharing within the NHS/government.
