The definition of what a 15-minute city is has been “skewed” according to the City of York Council leader.
Coun Claire Douglas, the Labour leader in York, said it would be “absolutely ridiculous” to have amenities five miles or more away from people. This follows a speech by the UK’s transport secretary Mark Harper, who took aim at 15-minute cities at the Conservative Party conference.
” When asked whether 15-minute cities have come up in her administration’s discussions, she said: “We definitely think that within planning we should be aiming for good healthy neighbourhoods where people can get easy access to the services that they need.” Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has committed to stopping councils from implementing 15-minute cities and reviewing guidance on 20mph speed limits in England.
