Several cities close their centres to cars on weekends. It is great for walkers and cafes, but difficult for the elderly, disabled people and anyone who lives far away.
Where do you stand? Pick a side and give your reasons.
You will be asked to log in first.
Streets full of people are better for shops and for health than streets full of parked cars.
Cleaner air, quieter streets and safer crossings, at no cost at all.
Disabled and elderly people often cannot walk or cycle in. A blanket ban shuts them out of the city centre on the days others enjoy it.
Weekend workers, including many in hospitality, rely on cars because buses do not run early or late enough.
