Sue it is fine if you can walk.......I take Ma out and about and she does try, but she can only walk a few yards.
I am old-ish too and relatively fit, but I have friends who are older and have no other means of transport than the buses and it worries them. I know because they talk about it.
As for being selfish....I don't know about you but, these people have never struck me as being selfish.......they worked brought up their children without much help(never asked for it, never wanted it, saw it as their responsibility).
As I say, it might not affect the young folk much, apart from perhaps mums with prams and toddlers.
Many of the recent 'improvements' to our town have not been up to much...... and before someone comes on and says I am talking the town down...I would say no, I'm not, I am telling it like it is....but maybe it is like the Emperors new clothes...you should keep shtum and smile knowingly. I wish I could!
