Stop taking advantage of covid to push undemocratic plans through that have nothing to do with covid.
The government, councils, quangos or others NGO's must prove that their plans are truly justified and any advantage claimed must be backed by clear evidence.
Why the contribution is important
Politicians and lobby groups cannot be trusted to behave reasonably.

For example, the East Craigs Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) is unnecessary as this is already a low traffic area, it is extreme in its limitation pf freedom of movement, and unwanted by the residents. It affects those who need to use cars including the elderly, infirm (and their carers), disabled and those who need their car for work.
This issue has caused a vast amount of stress to people (over 2,600 have objected, 1,000 attended a public outdoor meeting and many representations made to City of Edinburgh Council) since its announcement in July. The stress of Covid is enough to content without this further restriction on normal life.
So, I ask that Scottish Government to review and issue new guidance so that councils do not use Temporary Traffic Restriction Orders (TTROs), with Covid as a pretext, in order to advance their own radical and experimental traffic schemes.
Instead, let's do the adjustments that the communities want so that their health and safety is genuinely promoted.
