A councillor in #Wokingham: 'learnt about the concept of 15-minute neighbourhoods where residents could walk or cycle within their community to access shops, schools, GP surgeries and the other things they need to live.

Many of the new towns designed and built in the 1950s, and 1960s used that as a blueprint. However, over time, the car became king and walking and cycling became less attractive on roads congested with traffic.'
