primary schools, secondary schools and umpteen nurseries. We have had a
real focus on making the ward safe for children, and our work will be
ruined. The community is formed by people meeting on the pavements
outside the schools and they wouldn't be able to do that."

rest of ludicrous nonsensical ranting snipped

Are these people quite mad? Why is it worse for a tram to be going
past a funeral parlour than a bus?

Because "I resent change" and "I dislike things on rails" don't tend
to wash, so the bottom of the argument barrel must be scraped.

Perhaps he could borrow some from the anti-WLT campaign - they've been
doing it for years.
