Unchain The Brighton Motorist

I believe they are harming the well being of taxi drivers, small traders and certain city centre businesses.

They're definitely harming the well being of both drivers and cyclists by keeping the roads in such a dangerous potholed state.

Does anyone actually have any evidence that driving and car use boosts the economy of local businesses? There's plenty showing that creating an environment where people are bale to walk and cycle safely boost it. http://www.americabikes.org/nyc_study_finds_protected_bicycle_lanes_boost_local_business

I actually say they're using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. OF course it's a good idea to try to cut down on people doing a 400 yard school run in an SUV or driving five minutes to the shops. However here is a direct quote from their manifesto (my bolding):

I think taxi drivers come a close second to farmers as the profession, with the most to moan about. If I get a taxi in Brighton, it is from either the station, or the rank in East Street. I don't think it is difficult to build a pedestrian priority zone, that does not adversely affect taxi drivers.

You could go as far as saying reducing social car use in towns and cities centres use must help taxis, less traffic so quicker journeys and more people in town without cars, thus more needing taxis...

Don't taxis have access to bus lanes ? so making no difference to journey times and replacing one car for another so no advantage there.

The Green Party hold the seat.

That does not mean the majority want change. Can you provide evidence that the majority want change (and what majority you are referring to)?
