You can answer the four points as well if you want. In fact so can anyone really. Plus add in any others you can think of.
Whether one likes it or not this negotiation now has to happen so I would like to know what everyone thought were the important points
You already have my views. But I would add that ANY brexit plan MUST be accompanied by a plan to improve the infrastructure of the UK to make it fit for the numbers we have with regard to schools , roads , NHS , public transport and Housing.
On the latter I would also state that ALL social housing new build must come with a renewable energy option such as solar panels on the roof to keep bills down and keep greenhouse gasses down. This will also help with utility payments if the person renting is on benefits. I estimate ( very roughly) that they would pay for themselves within 5 years at current rates so its not a huge extra investment but would then ( having about a 25 years lifespan give 20 years where it saves the government money and the tenant money. Thats a win win but its a detail project rather than a headline
The other thing I would like to investigate is log cabin builds on brownfield and certain green belt areas. The reason is that they are cheap to build ( 20-30 k per cabin fully built and insulated) and can be almost fire proofed now. Another very good alternative to house building particularly for renters or first time buyers. Yiou can get a mortgage up to 70% on some log cabins. I would do that leasehold so the land remains the countries and therefore another income generator. Lets face it if you get a house for 40k and then have to pay ground rent of 300 a month its still dirt cheap. Another detail project but one that would be very very quick to implement.
Increase the allowable wattage on electric bikes to 500 w. That would enable an electric bike to do up to 25 mph. That is 5 mph faster than the average speed of a commuter driving in a number of our major cities in rush hour.The average mileage range of such a bike at 30 miles per charge is higher than the 250w current limit and allow anyone over 16 to have one without the need for a licence. Public liability insurance mandatory and available from the government in case of accident. This would encourage more adults to cycle to work. The average commute is constantly increasing but it is estimated most rural places are within 10 miles of a train station. It would encourage greater fitness , reduce gasses and reduce the need for second cars thereby helping reduce monthly costs for people. Again its a detail not a headline. Lots of people wont cycle too far as its too much effort. Electric bikes are now much lighter and the extra power is a very easy option. The cost is £800 to £1000 but easily covered by the government cycle to work scheme that already exists.
If you implemented all three of those while negotiating Brexit families could well be better off significantly and pressure on housing and transport eased in built up areas.
I may be a brexiter but I do not consider myself stupid or socially irresponsible. I am committed to recycling, animal welfare, reducing carbons and greenhouse gases and approve of any ways to get better value public transport, better roads and more usable housing owned by the state to stop unscrupulous landlords ripping the arse out of it in major cities.
