I agree. The hierarchy is walking, cycling and public transport, and lower down is private car travel. This is what all local authorities are directed to achieve. The Deputy mentioned greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing this is part of the bigger solution. It is a matter of sustainable communities and public health but also of the overarching ambition to reduce emissions.
