And not a single word about public transport which, properly supplied could ease many problems, even in a provincial town like Norwich.

@uc The city has a population of 150k, with over 400k living in the greater Norwich area, so not quite a "provincial town"!

But yes, better transport would help.

@BylinesEast

Sorry, so used to London, New York and Berlin.

@uc Well yes, provincial by global standards, I'll give you that!

The issue here is that the majority of children in Norwich schools live close enough to walk.

In the '60s from the age of 6, I walked half a mile, alone, to and from primary school. In the '90s, I walked my daughter half a mile to and from primary school. Now parents think they have to drive their kids to and from primary school...

@BylinesEast

And so I understood it to be.

@BylinesEast
Such a bad example for Children. Best to make sure you can walk to school or catch a school bus if in a rural area
