Fewer cars, cleaner air..
I live in an area that is used as commuter parking, Northwick Park. There is the hospital, Northwick Park Hospital and two stations within walking distance of each other and from the crack of dawn we have people driving up and down the street looking for parking. In the evenings, we have drivers who come to collect commuters, idling their engines whilst they wait. There is pollution galore for the residents and the pedestrians.
Back in the first lockdown, it was bliss.. empty roads and clean air. And this is the new normal that I wish for.
I so wish my council (Brent) would bring about residential parking and bring about a nicer feel to the area with much fewer cars and cleaner air! But for whatever reason, they are being intransigent. On the whole, I feel the number of cars on our roads in general need to be reduced dramatically, with more incentives such as better and more reliable public transport, and failing the soft friendly approach, increased taxation of additional cars..!
Something needs to be done, we cannot carry on as we are. Electric cars may be a god send for the future, but presently they are far too overpriced, and the charging network is still small...
