:01:30. > :01:32.and let me show you the problems. You can see how some of the blocks
:01:33. > :01:37.have completely broken, many are have completely broken, manx are
:01:38. > :01:41.incredibly loose, parts havd been replaced by patches of tarmac and
:01:42. > :01:46.the problems started from the moment it was laid. One councillor said it
:01:47. > :01:48.was unfit for purpose. Today, the council says it will replacd the

:02:36. > :02:37.I nicknamed it the crazy paving and I
:02:38. > :02:42.It is absolutely ridiculous to have gone
:02:43. > :02:46.through this pain and process to waste money on this which did not

:03:05. > :03:12.I don't think it was consulted about right.
:03:13. > :03:28.North East Lincolnshire Council said:

:04:14. > :04:15.Earlier I asked him whether he was surprised
:04:16. > :04:18.the shared space idea hadn't worked out in Grimsby.
:04:19. > :04:26.What we are seeing up-and-down the country is U-turns,
:04:27. > :04:28.retrofits and the so-called shared spaces not working for large
:04:29. > :04:30.sections of the community so not surprised, very disappointed.
:04:31. > :04:36.Is the basic idea of a shared area of vehicles
:04:37. > :04:47.It is an architectural concdit, a planning folly and what it has led
:04:48. > :04:49.to up-and-down the country is misery for all users, motorists,
:04:50. > :04:51.pedestrians, toddlers and buses and blind people
:04:52. > :05:00.So, have these trendy planners just ignored the needs and not even
:05:01. > :05:06.thought about disabled people or people who are unable to see?
:05:07. > :05:13.I think the planners and dare I say the councillors have been bedazzled
:05:14. > :05:16.by these shiny, shiny new schemes, this great concept and I understand
:05:17. > :05:19.wanting economic regeneration, wanting to make sense of pl`ce
:05:20. > :05:27.But those objectives have nothing if these spaces are not safe
:05:28. > :05:34.and are not fully inclusive for all members of society.
:05:35. > :05:36.You say a planning folly but also in many cases
:05:37. > :05:44.This is the tragedy, not only are they unsafe and lead
:05:45. > :05:47.to chaos and catastrophe, but at a time when we really need
:05:48. > :05:51.to be so careful about how we spend public money,
:05:52. > :05:54.putting money into the scheles in the first place and having to put
:05:55. > :05:58.more money to have them retrofitted, we cannot afford to do that.
:05:59. > :06:03.There needs to be more care put in when planning new citysc`pes
:06:04. > :06:05.Just briefly, I know the government is reviewing shared
:06:06. > :06:08.spaces at the moment, what tonight would be your lessage
:06:09. > :06:18.Nothing should be planned without being fundamentally based
:06:19. > :06:21.on inclusive design, no space has any merit if it is not
:06:22. > :06:25.fully accessible, fully inclusive for all members of the commtnity.
