Another cost to everyone else
Another cost to everyone else arising from cars – putting in the substantial bollards described here isn’t going to come cheap.

Yeah, you can’t seem to add a photo to a new post, only by replying. Looks like you’ve got a headset kit and a seatpost too that hopefully are a fit for this frame.

How far away can a speed
How far away can a speed camera catch you going too quick?
RAC road safety spokesperson Pete Williams said: “Although this new long-range camera could be used to enforce illegal mobile phone use or tailgating, it’s primary use will no doubt be to catch speeding drivers, if indeed it becomes more widely used by forces.
“Some drivers will inevitably end up being very surprised when a notice of intended prosecution letter arrives on their doormat when they felt they had managed to slow down enough after spotting a police car in the distance.”

There is a Facebook group that specialises in local bike jumble sales worth checking for dates and places. Most likely EBay otherwise.
This famous racer’s name was licensed for use by mass market makers decades ago – a photo would help confirm whether the frames are anything special.

Maybe block off all access and return it to nature?
that would be more in keeping with the stated planning objectives

It’s really hard to tell fact
It’s really hard to tell fact from fiction with these stories – the people trying to put forward hardship examples all turn out to be nicely off, thank-you when the slightest bit of scrutiny is applied. They don’t seem very good at it.
I don’t know what’s behind it, but I’m seeing graphs showing rises in school fees since 2000 way ahead of inflation.

Driver warned to take his
Driver warned to take his meds after ‘spectacular crash’
He was disqualified when he crashed his parents’ Audi
At a sentencing hearing at Truro Crown Court today (Thursday, January 2), it was heard how the 38-year-old from Rosevear Road in Bugle had been driving at such speed away from his parents’ home when he collided with a double garage on Roche Road in St Austell.
The prosecutor told the hearing that the “crash was spectacular” as the Audi ended up on top of the parked vehicle in the driveway at the address, with both vehicles being write-offs. The damage Loveridge caused to the property and the other vehicle was so extensive that it cost £30,000 to fix the garage alone.
Not only that but Loveridge also walked away from the scene and returned to his mum’s address before being taken to hospital. The only person injured in the crash, he suffered five broken ribs, a punctured lung and required to have a metal plate fitted in his upper arm.

Cornwall council are looking to off-load many of their outlying car parks, causing still more wailing and gnashing of teeth.
If the Caerhays estate own this land, I don’t really see what the campaign group hope to accomplish here. Surely the position is that the land cannot function as a public car park if they can’t install charging infrastructure.
