PRESENTS
The Future of Transport in Finchley
Thursday 21st March
2013 at 7-30pm
Avenue House, 17 East End Road, N3 3QE
Join us for a Future
Of Transport In Finchley discussion evening at Avenue House. We have
invited a panel of experts to field your questions and stimulate a lively
debate on all aspects of local travel. The motor car is often regarded as an
indispensable accoutrement of modern living. But is it so absolutely necessary?
And what is the true cost? We now have 150,000 cars in the borough, more than
10 times the number we had 50 years ago. Our once practically empty roads are
now jam packed and fume filled, pollution is at dangerously high levels and
priority has been given to motor traffic at all costs. As roads have expanded,
greenery has disappeared.
But what about
more sustainable forms of transport? Are we here in Finchley doing enough? Have
we joined the Mayor’s ‘Cycling
Revolution‘?
Could we be walking more? What about new technology like electric cars and
hydrogen fuel cells? Are we planning a public transport infrastructure for
future generations? Is the Council doing enough for sustainable future
transport? If you have any views or questions, please come along for what
promises to be an interesting and stimulating discussion evening. Please submit
questions in writing by March 15th.
