rogets   132 #1 Posted October 12, 2017 But unlike Oxford where its only a city centre exclusion wouldn't it be brave if a 4 mile exclusion zone was introduced?  From hillsbough, to woodseats, to halfway to attercliffe  All non electric vehicles banned  And this would also include hybrid cars, banned too.  This would make a bold statement to the rest of the world that sheffield takes its environmental responsibility seriously.  And that poor health will not be passed onto the next generation from the current generation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Just having busses and a couple of trams is not an answer and never will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
