Create Surbiton Car Clubs

Devise a Surbiton-wide insurance scheme to cover drivers signed up to neighbourhood car share groups in our area. Note that car insurance for car share groups is rapidly shutting down  as insurance companies have become progressively less willing to provide cover.

We need to set up an insurance company, or secure the services of an existing company which will embrace this idea . At the moment insurance companies are simply unwilling to act imaginatively.

The U.K.is comitted to a quantified carbon reduction by the year 2030. This will only be met if we substantially reduce  car ownership. Some people must continue to drive on a daily basis but many do not need to. A set of Smart Cars dotted about the neighbourhood could massively reduce the number of cars parked on our crowded streets. Without a private car to hand many journeys would  be transferred to public transport.

ADVANTAGES

Lower emissions, less street parking, cleaner air,  an example to other neighbourhoods, cheap access to vans and other vehicle types, we'd save a lot of money.
