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.

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.
