Enraged politician tells
Enraged politician tells Cornwall Council ‘you’re killing our town’
‘You may be chuffed some of these parking figures have gone up in tourist areas. We’re not a tourist area, we’re just normal Cornish people’

Gosh, yes those local businesses being killed-off by the absence of shoppers who (can somehow manage to run a car but) can’t afford £1 to park it for an hour.
And do feel free to publicly attack council officers, who can’t answer back. This just plain cowardly.

Police appeal after Hereford
Police appeal after Hereford crash between BMW and bike
West Mercia Police are appealing for information following the crash which involved a grey BMW estate with black alloys and a cyclist.
The BMW fled the scene after the crash, which took place at around 6pm on Monday, November 20, in Newmarket Street.
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: “We are appealing for witnesses after a car and cyclist collided in Newmarket Street in Hereford.
“The incident happened yesterday evening (November 20) around 6pm. The cyclist was crossing the road when they collided with a grey BMW estate with black alloys. The driver of the BMW fled the scene.

please stop with this “collision between car and cyclist (or pedestrian)” stuff – there’s a 1% chance I’m wrong here, but I’d say the driver – there was a driver – left the scene out of a guilty conscience.

The mum then had to drive home with the sticker on her window and “her child looking at it as she couldn’t remove it in the car park”. Stephanie added the sticker also left a “horrible sticky residue” on the window when it was eventually removed.
The mum, whose children are aged two and 14 weeks, has parked in the same space before but has never experienced something like the sticker. She called the sticker “pathetic” but added she was extremely upset by what happened.
The mum said she now feels “targeted and watched
