The problem is that the pedestrian ways, far from
being the attractive green lanes described on the
func-junc site, become bleak and windswept.

The village I live in is a mid-70s creation. The paths
get plenty of use for walking
and cycling, and *do* form "attractive green lanes".

What happens in cul-de-sacs and footpaths all depends on who live in the
neighbourhood.

IMO every sink estate should be opened up to traffic, in fact the nearby
roads should have barriers, one-way sections and bus-only sections applied
so that the best driving route from anywhere to anywhere is through the
sink
estates. They will become much safer and more pleasant places to live.

Somehow I get the impression that Clive Feather doesn't live on a sink
estate. But I could be wrong :-)
