E&I has been anti-car and pro-cycling for too long
I HAVE to heartily commend the Vale Douzaine for taking such a sensible attitude against E&I’s traffic proposals. Environment & Infrastructure has been anti-car and pro-cycling for too long. Under Deputies Burford, Brehaut and De Sausmarez they have looked to discriminate against those who need a vehicle for work, are not able to ride a bicycle or aren’t on a bus route.
Deputy Gabriel, the current vice-president, was on a trial of an electric bus but didn’t have a clue how much more expensive it is than a Euro 6 diesel bus. What a joke. It is high time we motorists stood up to those few in power who wish to dictate how we live our lives.
By the way, how many of the subsidised electric bicycles are still on the island and in the hands of their original owners?
Another tragic waste of our taxpayers’ money.
