The primary schools have a lot of kids arriving by car because whenever new housing is built no one bothers to include planning for proper paths along roadsides leading to it being far too dangerous to walk them in 😬 2/2

And the rest of the infrastructure like local GP surgery, shop. Much-maligned Milton Keynes is actually a success in that there are lots of buses, safe cycle routes, paths with underpasses. Playgrounds do now get built. I am going to ask my local councillor friend about paths in new developments.

My mum lives in Stevenage. It sounds similar to Milton Keynes: much of it is carved up by busy roads but there are lots of connected, safe, cycle paths and walkways. It feels as though most forms of getting from A to B have bern catered for. Lots of green space and playgrounds too.

Wouldn’t particularly want to live in MK but brother in law & family have for years & it has been v good for the kids, and a large Ukrainian family we know well moved there last year & marvelled how easy it was for the kids to get around, and easy train to London.
