[b]New Greggs will make Keswick’s traffic problems worse, says trader[/b]The article is badly written and Greggs moving 30ft over the road is not going to make traffic worse, but they’ve got a point about inappropriate traffic using this road.
From the A591, the turn into Manor Brow looks like a major junction (for the Lakes!), with a slip road. Yet there’s only a tiny blue rectangle sign stating it’s unsuitable for HGV’s that you only see once you’ve turned in. It’s a tempting shortcut to the Borrowdale road that avoids the often congested roads around the north of Keswick, but there’s a very sharp turn to make next to the cinema.
What they need to do is alter the junction layout into Manor Brow from the A591, get rid of the slip road and narrow the entrance, to make it seem like the minor road it is and put a vehicle size restriction on the road, with plenty of signage.

Tory leader [of opposition] questions motives behind Medway Council red-route plans
He has revealed the scheme was put forward as part of an annual council “star chamber” meeting where suggestions are made for ideas on reducing spending or increasing revenue.
[The Labour leader] said: “If the previous administration viewed red routes purely as a money-making scheme, that says a lot more about them than it does for Medway’s new Labour administration.
“We are getting on with delivering the things residents have told us they want to see in Medway, less congestion and cleaner air.”

Disabled pensioner hit with £100 fine for parking ‘one inch’ outside bay
Amal Bafaqih has vowed to fight the matter in court
“The yellow box between me and the other car is clear – there’s nothing. Yes, fair enough, I shouldn’t go on the yellow line – but it is just an inch. And every driver is not going to carry a tape measure, get out of the car, and measure the distance between you and the yellow line. That’s ridiculous.”
I checked the photo with my wife, “is that more that an inch?” I asked her, and for once, she agreed that it was.
