In my book 'Raus aus der Autokratie' (Out of Autocracy), I describe how deeply adultism is ingrained in our cities — and how it robs children of what they need most: freedom, movement and self-efficacy. In the 1950s, it was still normal for children to walk to school alone, play in the streets and explore their surroundings on foot or by bike.

The present £40,000 price-threshold above which buyers must pay hundreds of pounds more in tax is set to be raised or axed entirely for battery-powered vehicles at the next Budget 'to make it easier to buy electric cars,' writes Roads Minister Lilian Greenwood.
