Why are the flood works taking so long ? And why do they need to close so much of the park to do them when most of the time nothing seems to be going on?

Could have been one of the many rats that live there. Or one of the many dogs that people let run around off their leash in that dog free zone.

In my opinion the illiteracy of the person who tweeted that reveals the intelligence of their whole campaign.

Agreed, but they also weren't intended to be abandoned and left to rot which is what has happened. Time to try something else.

Friern Road has long gardens too.

Allowing small local businesses to use them would be the best way to ensure they are maintained and kept current.

Did she?

Probably time to just take them away and spend the money on something more worthy like a bike lane. You could put a bike locker where the notice boards were too.

I thought I saw some TW workmen there when it first happened last weekend but maybe it's too big for them to fix and they can't switch the mains off there without shutting all the businesses down.

or replace "idiots" with "c**t".

Except that on this very website we have people boasting about the millions of pounds of revenue that the council raise from criminals using cars. We should raise more from the cyclists who break the law too.

I'm amazed we still need food banks and not for profits. I thought we elected a labour government in 2024 to end all that stuff and make everyone rich.

Seeing more and more cyclists in London rampaging down the footpath and stealing phones out of people's hands. It's shameful and something needs to be done. Licensing cyclists would mean we would be able identify those of them menacing innocent people and robbing their phones.

That looks spectacular! I would be reluctant to share that if i was lucky enough to live there!

Need them to raise money to pay for the corrected road signs no doubt.

Are they asking people to book collections? I dont have a brown bin.

Licencing cyclists is a good idea so they can be fined for running red lights in the same way other road users are.

It's Croxted Road?

I'd just empty it into the green bin at this point.

Why can’t the cyclists just take some responsibility for themselves for once?

We didn’t have to contact the council. they took our tree out of our garden and put it in the road themselves for collection.

A different way to resolve these issues would be to decriminalise pre-emptive action taken against law breaking cyclists. If it was entirely legal to knock a cyclist off their bike when they run a red light, using whatever you have to hand, they might start to think twice about going through a green man when families are crossing with their children. I'm thinking particularly of the repeat offenders going through the EDR / CPR crossroads when people are trying to get to and from school.

Even if the numbers are correct, there is a huge problem with the schemes if three or four people are driving past the signs every school day in what is, effectively, a 90 minute restriction.

Agree, most people want trees. Just not problematic ones.

The freedom passes might be an annual fee compared to a monthly fee for the bins tbf. We do seem to be paying 800k very month for cross rail though. So that's Boris Johnson's fault too then ? Even more irritating!!!!
