On the one hand, we have the YTL Arena and the Brabazon housing development on the site of the former Filton Airfield in South Gloucestershire which, as detailed below, will inevitably end up generating a lot of extra vehicle journeys. On the other hand, people are being nagged and cajoled into giving up their cars and told to use public transport or so called 'active travel' such as cycling and walking. Yet all too often, the provision of alternative means of travel is inadequate so, despite all of the obstacles that are being thrown in their way, people understandably carry on driving their cars because it's the only realistic way of being able to get around. Conflicting signals about how we do or don't move around are what we're getting. The question is, where do we go from here? This is what this piece hope to start the process of addressing.
