Visiting my son in Cambridge yesterday, I was mightily impressed with the convenient location of the StreetCar carpark in front of his accommodation. A nice clean Golf was waiting to be used...
We went for a walk and 1/2 hour later, the car had gone.
What a brilliant idea, especially in built up towns like Cambrige where owning a car is a nightmare(not to mention costly), but using it occasionally would be a dream for all concerned.
West Bridgford has so many narrow victorian terraced streets with multiple car drivers, where a Streetcar scheme could be the answer. Wouldn't it would be wonderful if we could have a scheme like this?
I have contacted Ryan from StreetCar who informed me that if they had enough demand in an area they might consider setting up a new scheme. Please contact them at service@streetcar.co.uk
if you are interested and let them know that you would like to have a Streetcar in West Bridgford. That way they can get a feel how much demand there is from us here.
Just imagine what positive impact these clearer streets would have on the feel and the safety of our neighbourhoods.
