The strangest part of this is that they specifically stop councils from implementing 15 minute cities.

Legally mandated inconvenience.

How does that work? There’s already shops, dentists, etc in many residential neighbourhoods in the UK, no?

The Department for Transport added that it plans to stop councils implementing so-called "15-minute cities" amid fears they "aggressively restrict where people can drive".

15-minute cities are the idea that almost all healthcare, shopping, social and educational needs should be catered for a 15 minute walk or cycle ride away from any spot in a city.

Speaking to The Sun, Mr Sunak described such schemes as "hare-brained" - and claimed penalising drivers going about their daily lives "doesn't reflect the values of Britain".

The existing ones are allowed to stay until they need to build some more parking lots or widen roads I assume.

Sorry, this GP is too close to a convenience store, people might be able to walk from one to the other. Widen it up

We talk about it a lot, but my god are conservatives some of the most gullible fucking people on the planet. Politicians may just be 'pretending' but there are more than a few voters that legitimately believe this
