Telegraph: "Speaking at a fringe event at the Liberal Democrat conference, Mr Baker said: “The worst thing you can do is give free rein to the car. The idea of giving free rein to the car and excluding or marginalising pedestrians does not work economically, does not work environmentally and is a failed policy of the 1970s.
“I was in southern Germany for a holiday a couple of years ago. The town I was in had no cars in the city centre at all. The place was heaving with people spending money. Every single shop was occupied.
“There is a case for limiting the car in the city centre. But it has to be combined with sensible investment in public transport, and sensible investment in the public space to encourage cycling and walking.”"
