1.2 mile journeys by car make no sense but getting my 80 year old mum with alzheimer's to change GP isn't going to happen. They haven't been in the GP catchment since it relocated ~30 years ago but didn't have to leave then and liked their GP at the time.
I think the route by car post proposed closures is 2.3 miles.
They don't have a problem in their street (gets zero through journeys as it doesn't go anywhere) and think most local people walk anyway (when they walk to the shops they always see people they know to chat to). They see the traffic through the Broadway as a problem but since that is apparently though traffic they don't think there will be any difference. I've argued that little bits help chip away at the big problem but they aren't convinced.
