Is it meant to go direct to petition?

Yes, the planters have had a major, negative impact on traffic on main routes and if this is now also hindering emergency services that is very worrying.

I think you know that is not what I was alluding to.

If they can and really want to they will. At the moment there are other things to consider. There has to be balance.

Great. People who are able may well continue and more who are genuinely able to cycle everywhere may well start, however, for now, I am in favour of overturning street closures.

The ambulance is past the red light but still being held up.

skateboarding at the Grove Pub car park
first mate replied to theo.hughes's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
?Are they really being that reckless in comparison? Seems there are so many other failings that you could direct your ire towards. If it came down to a choice of the two, I think I'd rather take my chances chatting in the skate park than picking up some asparagus in M&S or hopping on the 176 with the chin-warmer brigade?. What does chin-warmer brigade mean? -
Goose Green councillors - how can we help?

People can use folders though and take them into work. -
Why Rockets, they?re all cycling in from Kent now😉

I had suggested sessions of yoga, tai- chi, etc.. in summer? Quite a few people already go to this area to do this anyway so that could be developed for the community on a pay as you go basis? The ?club? house could be used for massage, physio and perhaps yoga in winter? Perhaps I am way off base but it just feels a natural fit and could benefit all ages.

Completely agree. We all need areas of tranquillity, especially in urban areas, why destroy it?
