Lib Dem Group Attends TIF Vote Without Using Private Cars

Something else that came up on Tuesday but was rather drowned out by TIF was the fact that Lib Dem group members who attended the Council Meeting on Tuesday did so by means of transport other than private motor vehicle - this was a mixture of Bus, Train, Park & Ride, Walking and Cycling.


Of course being based in King's Hedges I had the distinct advantage of both a reliable bus service and a pretty comprehensive network of Cycle Paths (the latter of which I used)! Needless to say it wasn't quite as easy for some of the more rural Councillors!


Here is the group standing on the steps of Shire Hall with various Bikes and Tickets;

Hopefully this will be something we can repeat at future meetings.

When did walking and cycling become "public transport"? I guess I know what you're trying to say—you mean "not by private motor vehicle"—but it would be nice if there were some more accurate way to name this group of transportation modes.

Fair point, and your interpretation of what I "meant to say" is correct.

I'll update the blog post.
