Actual Citroen C1 width: 1,888 mm Actual Honda Jazz width: 1,966 mm Actual Range Rover width: 2,220 mm Most people aren't driving round in Range Rovers, but they are driving round in wide cars.

You've taken off the wing mirrors! Laughable.

They are all so disingenuous, First Mate. The council and their ban the car supporters together. Can't trust a word any of them say.

The last Citroen C1 model was just under 2 metres wide!! It's no longer in production. Honda Jazz is even wider.

I think they still have a shop in Borough Market?? https://www.instagram.com/heritagecheeseuk/?hl=en-gb

Everyone would demand a "child safe zone" on their street. The primary purpose of LTNs was to stop out of towners rat running through people's private roads, not to provide a safety zone. That's why they are called low traffic neighbourhoods.

Even small cars have got massively fatter! The VW golf is now a foot wider than it was when first released. It's because NCAP ratings require stronger structure, safer crumple zones for pedestrians, and a lot of car manufacturers now put airbags in the doors to protect passengers from side impacts to get the best NCAP safety ratings. Bonnet heights have also increased to accommodate the minimum clearance standards. This ensures that anyone who ends up on the bonnet in a collision has some clearance space between the bonnet and the engine, cushioning their heads and saving lives. Naturally it makes the front end of the car "bigger". Would you do away with all those safety features?

Will be a shame when they knock it all down and build tower blocks in its place.

Ah that's a shame for chi chi ra ra.

If we could just get rid of all the shops and flats on Lordship Lane too then we could have even more space for pedestrians and buses.

Heh, well spotted.

Perhaps they would run into the issue that Lambeth had if they put it on the Rye - maybe they would need planning permission for change of use if more than 28 days of permitted development are used up for all the other events plus this. So perhaps emphasising that the two areas are distinct from each other actually helps the council.

I think the council could make more of that too. Sell a ticketed event with a local celebrity turning the lights on, followed by a street party with christmas carols and a christmas pop song cover band.

The wild animals are all still here nearly 600 years later though Jen!!

What about a bike store?
