Public realm at Wandsworth Town north of the railway line
2cm kerb
Section 278 is meant to ensure high quality public realm. This is an unsafe trip hazard #wandsworthtown
After getting some bullshit that didn't actually answer the question, I asked for an internal review. I said:
"The reply provides no evidence specific to Peterborough as requested in the questions and a media report from Tameside is not evidence...

Swandon Way rail bridge SW18
Wasting £000s of very limited council reserves to paint a bridge red on a 4-lane motorway with barely any footfall is wasteful (it’s not even on a bridge/street controlled by Wandsworth Council) #wandsworthlabour
Ie they are dangerous even when they are just parked
The episode has been a stark illustration of the backward nature of the Lords, where we saw unelected politicians abusing their position to protect their own interests and attempt to thwart a manifesto pledge. buff.ly/NPATdsQ
Nissan Leaf drivers voice anger over app shutdown
As with our phones, when you buy a new car you never really own it
It’s a shame the Metropolitan Police believe there is something called “anti social driving.” It’s not anti-social, it’s illegal.
Can anyone give an example of where driving anti-socially is not illegal?
If you are driving anti-socially, you are driving illegally
The Metropolitan Police believe illegal/dangerous parking is merely “anti social”
But they’ll be working much harder towards that goal now given they know the US is a forever threat
And destroy sightlines for everyone and particularly children and women
Honestly, who really uses enough cash these days to care about this other than those usually seeking to avoid paying tax?
Media & police commonly report that “speed wasn’t a factor in a crash.” What they mean is the driver wasn’t technically breaking the speed limit, or at least not too much.
But speed is ALWAYS a factor, in how much distance is needed to stop, how well crash victims can be seen, and whether they die.
Know your history.
Jimmy Carter went on to build more affordable homes than any other president.
@simonlightwood.org.uk @heidialexander.bsky.social do you honestly think this is acceptable?
In England a driver can be speeding, using cannabis and a phone, overtake another vehicle, mount the pavement outside a school playground and kill a 4-year-old girl while uninsured — and receive just 3 years 10 months for causing death by careless driving.

Even the body design is terrible. Such an inefficient way to design a taxi.
Lane closed sign in a cycle lane (without any reason)
No need to stop up the cycle lane given the road works are 10m away diagonally opposite, but @thameswater.bsky.social just love to do harm to people and our environment.
Must build on sensitive nature sites, because we wouldn't want to affect any golf courses.....
Our council spending a fortune on new paving 🙄
When your brand is so mistrusted that rebranding yourselves as Estate Agents counts as an upgrade
“Those savages in the Green Party” has quite the ring to it 😆

It's incredible how luddites have completely taken over the MSM (weirdly egged on by tech baron media owners). You'd almost think candles would be better for home lighting than a light bulb.
Activism absolutely. Savages? Not so much 😎
One for you ;o) @tomflood.bsky.social
