3. Reminds me of Tory strategy on planning

Tory government in Westminster orders councils to build houses. Tories at local level then campaign against any proposal to build the houses that Westminster Tories ordered them to do.

Saw this Nimbyish strategy from the Tories at first hand when I lived in Derbyshire and in my opinion, the best strategy for Labour is to be upfront about the fact that this is being ordered by Westminster, and proactive in engaging the public about it.

As to stuff like ULEZ, clean air zones, 15 minute cites etc, I have observed that this stuff is very popular in more central parts of cities, and opposed by people on the outskirts. I can't comment on how this affects Uxbridge as I don't know that area, but I have a number of issues with how this is being implemented in in my home town of Sheffield.
