In any other major city in Europe the streets of Soho would obviously be pedestrianised and businesses/visitors on a glorious day like today could enjoy al fresco dining. But thanks to Westminster Council and the way we give outsized power to absurd local complaints, not here!

Best analogy I've seen for this yet.
Finally: your regular reminder that training for cyclists is fine, but unless you have obviously safe cycling infrastructure it's a bit like training kids to test their lunches for listeria because the school cooks can't be arsed with hygiene; basically a distraction from the actual problem.

Spot on. Comprehensive pedestrianisation should be far higher up the agenda in our cities than it is. Nearly wherever cars go, cities get worse. Nearly wherever they’re removed, those urban spaces flourish.
Before & After: I don’t think people realize the extent to which parked cars degrade public space.
