The UK government is to invest £3.2 billion and has created a new statutory consulting body to nudge and corral people into 15-minute cities. Active Travel England (“ATE”), as the new body is called, has recently been tasked with approving all large planning applications, about 60% of new homes. The “Expert Advisor” of the scheme is none other than Chief Covid Con Artist Chris Whitty.
Of course, they make it sound all fluffy and nice, “it’s for your own good” … and voluntary. But this is the start of corralling people into their dystopian 15-minute neighbourhoods and, by overseeing planning applications, forcing businesses to comply with it.
“Active Travel England is responsible for making walking, wheeling and cycling the preferred choice for everyone to get around. Our objective is for 50% of trips in England’s towns and cities to be walked, wheeled or cycled by 2030,” the website states.
“By 2030.” There is the red flag that this is being driven by the United Nations’ Agenda 2030. Once you see the agenda behind the bumph, you can safely assume the rest of the text is psychological mumbo jumbo and it is what is not being said that is important.
England’s Chief Medical Officer, Chris Whitty, is one of 4 that form the advisory panel called Active Travel England. The other three are West Midlands’ Mayor Andy Street, Chair of the Office of Rail and Road Declan Collier and engineering consulting firm Arup’s Global Transport Leader Isabel Dedring. The advisory panel will meet quarterly. The first meeting took place in late October 2022.
