Car-free development is in cloud cuckoo land. Everywhere that the council has tried to reduce the number of parking spaces per dwelling, the result has been parking "wars" and discontent. Buses are NOT a solution to this, at least not until they are non-emitting and don't use diesel engines of any sort (biofuel is not mitigation of the stink they create, e.g. on St Andrew's Street).

Expecting local residents to live in 'care free developments' is entirely unrealistic. Certainly not entire families work in the city center, for example. Instead discourage commuters from diving into Cambridge and to local shops etc - rather than penalising local residents.

This is a policy that needs to be adopted throughout the city and even in some of the surrounding villages, as it could help to underpin a much better public transport network than we now have. There may need to be "contracts" to ensure that people who sign up to living carfree can be assured that their services will stay; in the stretch of Chesterton Road to the west, changes a few years ago reduced the frequency of buses from 15 per hour to just 3, and drastically cut the range of destinations served directly.

There is a need to consider that at certain times of people's lives having vehicle access is needed, either for residents themselves, or their visitors / contractors / carers.
