About 30 people gathered at Liverpool Town Hall on Tuesday, loudly opposing the idea of a "15-minute city".

However it was not being discussed by the neighbourhoods committee, nor has it ever been a Liverpool City Council policy.

As councillors went inside they were accused of "betraying" the city.

The council's leader, Liam Robinson, said he did not know whether the protesters had genuinely or deliberately confused the issues.

It's a bit disappointing but, as they say, it's 30 out of a city of under half a million and the upside is that you don't often get to see all the Tory voters in Liverpool all gathered together.

I really don't understand why some motorists^Wpeople object so strongly to a city having stuff all conveniently close that they have to make up a load of conspiracy theories to oppose it.
