That was pretty much the Lib Dem election position in the local elections.
The most entertaining was when the traders produced plans for the regeneration of Green Lanes and one of their points was to remove the bus lane and replace it with car parking (which, according to the bumf would have, in some nebulous way, been better for pedestrians and cyclists). Fortunately TFL ignored them so they had to cope with 90% funded grants to replace their shop fronts.
Oh but the traders, won't somebody think about the traders, if there weren't parking spaces alongside every single stretch of road then every business everywhere and the whole of civilisation would ACTUALLY AND IMMEDIATELY COLLAPSE
