Comment on Spelthorne Borough Council Public Space Protection Order

With a name like “public space defence”, I honestly thought this would be about making spaces more friendly to the public, removing hostile architecture like skatestoppers and Camden benches, or replacing ads with public art, roads with bike infrastructure.
I’ve been living here 10 years. I really should know better by now.

Hey Daniel Quinn
I agree with you.
We have already seen “Hostile environment” being used by the previous government, to pressurise immigrants out of the country, now they are using the same tactics on kids.
What always amazes, me is that there are people who invest time and money inventing those things.
Clearly with zero empathy or understanding of their fellow man.
My personal gripe in Spelthorne is the state of the roads. The council for years had been using poor quality road stone and tarmac. They have intentionally used the cheaper large road stone, instead of the smaller recommended road stone, the larger stone drastically increases the road noise.
Why? Because they wasted our money on failed property developments to earn a few extra quid.
Thats why there are no birds and no morning chorus in my area.
I do prefer your way. replacing ads with public art, roads with bike infrastructure.
I could live with that.
