It requires relatively few interventions to make a good street into a great street.
- Ditch tarmac for stone paving (over a short stretch at least)
- Rain gardens/street trees
- Attractive streetlights
It's something we should be doing on every high street and village centre.
The problem Tories and Reform have in actually solving the UK's problems:
We NEED TO GET WELFARE DOWN--> main driver = pensions --> scrap triple lock --> voter base = 😡
We NEED BRITS TO STAY --> main driver = high housing forcing brits to leave --> build more housing --> voter base = 😡
We NEED CHEAPER POWER --> main driver = lack of grid connections + power stations --> building pylons, solar farms and nuclear --> voter base = 😡
We NEED LOWER TAXES --> main driver = low taxes on very, very high earners and really high tax-free personal allowance --> freeze personal allowance and raise rates on £250k --> voter base = 😡
@pursuitofprog Cleaning rivers seems like a good objective of a ruling council or authority. A managed plan from source to sea is required or you become disproportionated affected by upstream mismanagement
