As an elected representative, you are responsible for providing the inhabitants of your town with a healthy environment. You must also facilitate travelling to and from work to guarantee the right conditions for companies, services and businesses to develop. You must also provide good conditions for the mobility of all residents to ensure ready access to shops, schools, public services, community facilities and jobs. Some motorists call for a ‘right to mobility’ which they often confuse with a ‘right to use their car no matter what the conditions’. The image of the car that they wish to project is that of a ‘perfect and irreplaceable’ mode of transport.
