    Officials are being obstructive by refusing to magic money out of thin air to spaff on political appointments:

    Ah, true – missed that – just a quote from a random shoehorned in to pad the story out.

    All that said, “bombs on wheels” is, er, perhaps a touch hyperbolic…

    Less great to know that they seemingly haven’t bothered paying attention to what’s actually been agreed, though:

    “Parking remains free for civic hall users”

    Oh.

    You left out: come on forum to post about how easy it all was and how anyone who complains about disc brakes is a Luddite / what a nightmare it all was and how disc brakes are a terrible conspiracy by Big Bike [delete as appropriate]

    Also, it doesn’t appear that this is a ‘self-driving’ car, so this excuse could presumably be used for any reasonably recent car out there.

    On my bicycle the gears are left and right – I often end up going in circles as a result. 🤔

    Hard to make head or tail of

    Hard to make head or tail of this.

    Reform council leader claims they are purging degenerate literature from the county’s libraries*. However, a spokesperson seems to imply that they’ve just been put where they should be. And it might only have been one book.

    Locals ‘incandescent’ about buses using side streets

    … as a diversion due to a burst water main.
    The worst part? They might have to park a bit further away.
    Try to stop people using the side streets as a cut through in their cars, though, and people will be up in arms about that.

    “Many locals prefer cycling along promenades or through parks rather than on busy main roads.” – so build safe segregated infrastructure so they don’t have to ride on main roads.

    Of course, routes through existing parks etc won’t necessarily get them where they want to go, so the obvious solution is to dig up the roads and replace them with parks to create cycle routes through.

    So much focus on the car, but how is the road doing after the breakup?

    It doesn’t actually allege

    It doesn’t actually allege that BCC invented them – only that the group ‘may have been fabricated’ – by who is unspecified.

    It’s not clear to me what the ‘claim to have consulted’ the group consisted of – that could just mean that they recieved a submission from someone claiming to be from the group and took it at face value. The report seems pretty slim and light on details about that, and what measures they took to try to track them down.

    Also somewhat dubious about how independent the authors of this ‘independent report’ might be, given that they appear to be a community group working in the same neighbourhood as the commissioning group.

    I like how it served me up this ad in the middle of it – going back to the horse and cart doesn’t look so bad

    One question the police need to ask is how the car that crashed into Pizza Is Lovely managed to violently crash at such a velocity when the speed limit on the road is 20mph.

    Obviously that’s due to the gravitational effect of the pizza.
