Wandsworth Council this evening has a planning application to expand Thomas's School, Battersea, where Prince George goes to school, with a new secondary.

The transport reports are b*llshit ... apparently, 13% of the new secondary's 11-18yo kids will drive themselves to school.

I expect @SustransLondon will be delighted to hear they've verified London's backstreet "local routes".
Battersea Bridge and Lombard Road are cycling nirvana for 11 year olds.

<Rolls eyes>
As if Prince George is going go cycle from Kensington Palace across RBKC streets, over Battersea Bridge to Battersea Square.

What are the WSP consultants smoking?

Final thought: WSP's transport reports for Prince George's expanded school are very carefully constructed - they omit any up-to-date mode share analysis, or mapping of current journeys.
The mode share (driving %s) and distances travelled must be dire.
/End.
