What on the sidewalks or balconies BVL? I don't have a garage - my charger is where I park up beyond the rear garden. Works out just fine. I also know people who must run their charging lead across a pavement outside their house. They use heavy duty rubber cable protectors to do so. They're becoming an increasingly common sight. Depends where you live as some Councils have deemed that a hazard and banned it. It is illegal under the Highways Act 1980 due to obstruction - but it's up to the local authorities whether they enforce that. |

There are places down here Walter with no back gardens and their front door open on to the street...If you are raly lucky some just have enough room to put their rubbish bins at the front of their house.. |

Yes I understand that. The fuckwits who run Britain need to build garages. What on the sidewalks or balconies BVL? One guy in London parks his cars in his living room several stories up. There is such a thing as a car lift. He had to import it from Turkey or somewhere like that.
For the rest of us, we need better town planning. Many of our town plans were created in the days of horse and cart. Unless we do something they will fail over time. The inefficiency of everyone's lives will increase to the point where it becomes a third world ghetto. It would be a good idea to sort all these problems out in one go, i.e. transport links, green spaces, properly insulated homes with heat pumps and the full works.

Doesn't that defeat the object of the bumburghers disciples BVL... Who the fuck in their right mind would bother with such crap? |

Again the call to rebuild the UK from the ground up, so we can help fund the Chinese communist party

Again the call to rebuild the UK from the ground up, so we can help fund the Chinese communist party Le Corbusier stated the problem a century ago in his book The city of tomorrow.
The problem is the way a city develops. It develops in a very random way, always restrained by what was there before. The idea was to build a city from a logical plan taking into account all the latest technology of the day. By doing it all in one go you get better value for money since the bulk of what we pay is reworking designs. It's much cheaper to lay adequate sewerage systems from the start than to upgrade periodically. My view is we must account for everything. There becomes point where the more economical alternative is to knock the entire shithole down. We helped the Germans do this in WW2 and they rebuilt new modern homes and factories and became the richest country in Europe. It's a bit counter-intuitive, but the maths does work out if you measure from a long time frame. For example, a more desirable city where you can get your work done much faster would attract more intelligent people who are more productive.

You actually do hold this absurd position. Amazing.

As the cost of net zero increasingly becomes apparent , financially and how we live our lives , to fund manufacturing in other nations , to our detriment , you wonder how much mileage is left in net zero as a political ideal? |

Quite right. It's certainly an issue (that will doubtless end up being ratified and sorted eventually, as such arrangements become more common). In order to park at the front of my house, I've looked into (but haven't done any more than that) a "channel" sunk completely flush into the pavement leaving a waterproof charging socket on the lower edge of the kerbstone. Luckily for me, my road is a private/unadopted street, so my house insurance already covers me for slips & trips that anyone may have on that bit of the sidewalk. |

I suppose most big cities and blocks of flats similar. I thought councils and governments were supposed to be bringing in chargers that were fitted to lampposts? Dont the dutch have something like that? You hear so much its hard to keep up , but most of it is nothing more than wild speculation ... |
