The OP needs to take a step back and rephrase his/her arguments Having said that, I agree with some of the arguments as to the lack of consultation, and the inability of the council to be able to quantify the effectiveness of the measures outside of a ?very? limited area. However, I have been out shopping in the past, and called in to shops on my way home, which were not far from my front door. Of course these days, I could, and do, use home delivery services to some extent, but then that too would have an effect on local businesses. Lastly, these road closures have been incredibly divisive in local communities, and have been implemented in a hugely one-sided manner. Other than that, I wish you all a peaceful lead-up to the next lockdown..!
