@YourSouthend And in spite of the recommendations of the Casey report they are currently using out of area cars in the Southend on sea area. Serious safety concerns but they seem not to care aided and abetted by corrupt politicians nationwide.

This is a long tweet where I spell out my opposition to the pedestrianisation of key thoroughfares in Central London.
The glee which some have shown at plans to pedestrianise yet another key thoroughfare in Central London is misplaced, in my view. Yes, a lot of people walk around Central London and we want to make it as pleasant and safe as possible. But we must not forget why people are attracted to Central London in the first place. It is because of the businesses, the shops, the restaurants, the bars, the clubs. They need servicing. They need deliveries. Pedestrianisation of key thoroughfares is a hindrance.
Many pedestrians will have arrived by tube. But a lot rely on the bus, for reason of cost, disability, or, laden with shopping and children in tow, appreciate the short walk to the bus stop. Pedestrianisation of key thoroughfares is a hindrance
Most of us donβt use cabs very much. But there are times when we fork out for one. One of those times is when we are carrying a heavy item of shopping. Pedestrianisation of key thoroughfares is a hindrance.
Moreover, cabs need to be easily available right across Central London. It is key market for them. The City of London, adjacent to Westminster, is the richest part of Europe. Whether we mere mortals like it or not, top international business people expect taxis to pick them up at their offices or hotels and to take them on direct routes to their next appointment. Pedestrianisation of key thoroughfares is a hindrance.
Private cars in Central London are limited by the congestion charge. And the charge can and should be adjusted to minimise congestion.
Which leaves cycling. It is clear why pedestrians, deliveries, cabs and public transport are essential to the success of Central London. The role of cycling, except cycle deliveries, is much less clear. This is not a question of whether of not it is desirable for people to cycle to work but what added value cycling brings to the West End that other modes cannot deliver. Some come to mind β low-income shift workers who find it cheaper then the bus, short trips on hired bikes within the West End β but they are limited. Policy should reflect that.
