    If you live in a backwards place this may be so. I can do all of those things without a car.

      It's a town of 90k people. The kind of town that the vast majority of people in the UK live in.

      Just out of curiosity how can you transport something large and bulky, that isn't allowed on public transport, let's say furniture, or the remains of a shed you dismantled or any one of a hundred inconvenient loads that occur during your life without a car?

          Someone needs to own a car still.

          And that someone can't be available every day when I need to do two school runs and an office trip.

          That someone can't always be available when the sink springs a leak and I need to go buy some new washers and plumber's mait.

          I really question your life experience at this point. If you're single, childless and living in a big city, sure, cars are very unnecessary. For most people this isn't the case

            Listen I think if you have to carry furniture and shed remains to the school and office daily I don't think transportation options is the real problem
