@ResurrectedBar2 I don't think anyone is suggesting that we never go further than 15 minutes or we never use a car. The way I understand it is about planning to add in in more walkable options, which some people don't have.

I suggest my party @libdems should look at adopting 15 minute neighbourhoods as a policy for government. It would be a worthwhile reform of the national planning framework.

@Theos_Nan You are right that crossing the A2 is a big impediment for connectivity on that side.

@Theos_Nan Yes the southeastern and southwestern corners need more. Better is possible. Proximity to a primary school is particularly lacking in the SE corner. I live south of the tracks though and can get to most things in 15 or 20ish with a buggy.

I'm strongly in favour of 15 minute towns. The idea is having the main things you need within a 15 min walk, not needing to drive all the time. We almost have a 15 min town here in Faversham. Councils everywhere and govt should adopt it as an aim.

Nice to see @Bloomberg illustrate this story with the We Still ❤️ EU projection my team did at Ramsgate on 31/1/20.

Of course Brexit is a "disaster" but Amber Rudd served in the pro-Brexit government from 2016-19, so she's one of those responsible for the mess we're in.

The alternative is to create a safe an legal route to apply to for asylum.

There presently is not one for many refugees. Leaving the ECHR would hugely damage the UK's international standing.
RT @SimonClarkeMP: Criminal gangs will bring 65,000 people to the UK illegally this year. The Home Office already has tens of thousands living in hotels, spending £7m each day housing them. MPs ruling out leaving the ECHR need to tell us what the alternative is if our plans …

This is another piece of evidence that our economy is going backwards under the Tories and we need change in the UK.
