A new catch-all Tea Shop thread for those miscellaneous new stories that don’t quite fit with parking, crashing into buildings or trapped/prisoners in their homes.

I doubt that the ‘obvious danger’ they’re thinking of is falling off.
This is the ‘road’ in question – clearly it’s ridiculous to expect a busy thoroughfare like this to be safe for kids to ride their bikes on.

Lickey Hills: Car parking charges on way despite opposition
Councillor Adrian Delaney (Conservative, Rubery and Rednal) has spoken out against the proposal for Lickey Hills in particular, saying recently on social media:
“This land was gifted to Birmingham City Council by George Cadbury.
“And I just wonder if he were alive today, I think he’d be absolutely appalled by these plans.
“This will hit local people hard, especially those people that use the park for exercise, well-being and for community.
Well quite, drivers, not a bad analogy:

All I wanted was the route number for the old Rednal trams, that I think someone like Cadbury might have favoured people using, not some anti-car rant from 1949:
The transport problem of Birmingham, as of many large cities, is becoming increasingly severe. The author is of the opinion that such problems can only be solved by the provision of an urban transport installation, and not by the use of supposedly flexible vehicles on the existing network of roads; it is the attempt to solve the problem by this latter means that is responsible for the congestion in the centre of Birmingham at the present time. An embryo specialised installation exists in Birmingham to-day; it is recommended that it be developed as far as possible for its specialist purpose while there is still time and before the traffic of the future swamps the Bristol Road completely, as it will do if numberless small vehicles are expected to cope with it in competition with the many others who regard themselves as having equal claim to the surface of a public road.”
