I see three bedroom boxes with 4 cars parked on the pavement outside - maybe the ban will reduce that problem.
There is very little work in Rushden, bar care homes and retail. Most workers are in Wellingborough, Northants and MK. It takes over 2 1/2 hrs to get to MK by public transport involving two buses and a train. Not sure of the entire cost, but the train alone is £17.50 per day. By car, it's 35 mins, and if I factor in cost of car, petrol, tax and insurance, it works out at £8 and I'm also saving 4 hours a day travelling.
More and more young adults are staying at home longer due to rising rent/house prices, hence the number of cars outside our three bedroom boxes,
I have no such excuse. Me and my Mrs have a car each (she usualy works 40 miles away in Rugby) and then there's the Morgan, and the four motorbikes. I am a petrol head. However, if public transport improved, and the price reduced, I would have no qualms in using it. I commuted to London for years by train when I lived in Colchester (although the company did pay my season ticket).
