And it was addressed only because an off-duty officer spotted something wrong—not because of ever-rarer farm inspections.
And the fine for years of non-compliance was trivial.
Congratulations, especially to succeed on all grounds. But what does the photo show?
Well, yes—but is that a priority when there are many other station platforms which can’t be reached at all?
Isn’t there already level access both sides?
Plus allegation that the poster could do the work in half the time at half the cost. Oddly, said poster is never a local councillor nor ever will stand to be one despite his or her astonishing ability.
Lovely photos. But the first one is a road.
Perhaps. But Network Rail would have shut its entire network on day 1. Safety first.
This comment about wealth also misses the point that many boys were at Dulwich on local-authority free places (as I was).
It’s now free to place an electronically-supplied State notice in the Gazette: www.thegazette.co.uk/place-notice...
Propose a road and Members will fall over themselves in enthusiasm to push it through. Propose a route for NMUs, and they’ll worry about the impact on the unfortunate landowner. (To be fair, a new link road will be intrusive, but unlikely to be a new source of dogs worrying livestock.)
Thinking further, @finstumpf.bsky.social is right: the amendment would apply to Wales. But as it is a devolved matter, the Government almost certainly would not accept it in this form.
Yes.
Concrete cycle track looking old but clean, down centre of A24
Oddly enough, the centrally-placed south-bound cycle path has recently been scraped and sided after years of dereliction, and now looks as good as new. But will anyone use it given the startling off-side entrance at Givons Grove roundabout, and the hatched inside-lane alternative?
Presumably a formality: the presentation will have been ‘decided’ by the PCC?
It seems that if you board at the P&R, it’s free. But board earlier or later, and you pay. Bizarre!
Fascinating thanks. Do these temporalities have real value — and does this mean that during the vacancy, the revenues go to the Crown vice the Church?
Yes, that’s probably universal in Europe.
But ‘official’ free station-wifi can often be good in the UK (and Network Rail station-wifi usually excellent).
Compelling throughout thank you!
Should we infer from your run-in with your mobile-network operator that you weren’t testing European rail wifi-connectivity?
As my geography lecturer used to say, we can grow bananas on Ben Nevis if we want to. It’s a question of resources.
Why build anything to a specified standard if it's not going to be maintained to that standard?
<Especially> those.
“The period goes outside the quotes.” Always?
Don’t forget Shirley Porter, who paid a £12m surcharge for her council’s targeted sales policy.
Photo of purple emperor butterfly perched on bare earth, wings outstretched, showing purple-blue sheen with white markings
We saw this fluttering around on a walk across Princes Coverts (nr Malden Rushett) today, and to our surprise, it landed nearby. It looks like a purple emperor, which would be a first, but aren’t they supposed to inhabit the tree canopy, not sit on the ground?
Careless driving etc must be proven, and might not be prosecuted if, eg, pedestrian steps out without looking. But on a zebra, there’s strict liability: you must be prepared to stop.
As I said: you have cleared this with legal, haven’t you?
Failing to give way on a zebra is a strict-liability offence www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1997/24... Elsewhere, it may be evidence for careless, and inconsiderate, driving—or it may not. But on an ersatz zebra, pedestrians may <think> they have right of way.
Have you run this past your legal team?
Is that wise? Pedestrians may justifiably assume that they have absolute priority. Yet drivers may not have the same strict liability (as they do on compliant zebras), and so be subject to neither civil nor criminal sanction.
‘Efficiency savings’? They, and you, are using the Tories’ language, still trying to brainwash the public into believing that cuts in spending don’t lead to cuts in services. They do.
No motorist must ever be inconvenienced unless unavoidable. NMUs? Sorry, didn’t hear you.
Welcome to Surrey. I wonder if the council can show us any roads where encroachment has been permitted across three-quarters of the width…or even half?
