You could try the Melford Road method. Get Thames Water to close the road intermittently while installing new water mains. Then, and this is important, make sure they make a mess of it. The subsequent leaks can then get in the gas supply, so you need a new gas main. They closed the road last night to do this, and it'll be closed for a week or so.

Voila! I'm off to buy some planters...

Here here remove all the London wide LTN?s, all they do is cause more congestion. Not everyone is able to walk, scoot, cycle or take public transport. Let the roads be open so traffic can freely flow. Teach everyone how to use the road correctly, yes a red light means stop whether you are scooting, cycling or in a motor vehicle. When the ULEZ is extended pollution should be a lesser issue as less polluting cars should become the norm.

Yes, we should encourage cars everywhere - especially on residential streets which can be used as high speed cut throughs. Let's make it as easy as possible to drive locally - after all, we all want increasing car use and particularly lot's of short, local car journeys. Bigger cars too ideally - lot's more SUVs with high bonnets to target upper body injuries and mount pavements more easily. It's the only way to improve the environment.

Remember before LTNs - how the traffic always flowed freely and congestion had never been experienced in London

Remember before LTNs how when there was a blockage in a road , traffic could flow freely via other roads to reduce congestion overall


I miss the good old days

The heavier the car, the greater the harm when it hits you. I could assume that heavier cars tend to be driven faster, causing greater harm on impact. Crumple zones and design of the front of the car can reduce harm, but ultimately it is weight and speed that are the main factors. Autonomous braking is not necessarily the simple answer as drivers could become dependent worsening driving skills.

Who is on the sub-committee that you object to? Sounds like unfair advantage!

    • Ask him politely if you can help him.  I remember staring at my old flat.  Can I help you a neighbour asked.  Yes I said, I had seen that they have split it into two flats. And we had a chat about it.   Edited to add - if they are doing this in plain site then it sounds harmless, but it would be good manners to knock on your door.  In our area there is someone well known on X that walks up and down taking pictures of anything out of the ordinary, often quite trivial, supposedly for laughs.  I could speculate who the owner could be, a creative or a gangster, but that would not be appropriate!
    • Hi. I’m looking for an Ikea ekanaset armchair in light grey fabric (now discontinued) to match one I already have. Just asking on the off chance someone is about to get rid of one!  Would need to be in good condition. Thanks. 
    • Hi folks, I'm hoping it's nothing, but we've noticed a man drive up outside our house in a white Jaguar XE 2.0 (example pic below), get out, take some photos of the building work with his phone, and then drive off. We've seen him do this a couple of times over the last couple of months.  Reg BP16 UAJ. Is it anything to be concerned about? I'm hoping it's just an architect or someone interested in the design and building work...
    • So glad you found this poor little thing....  I heard that so many people tried to catch it as it was running in the road.  Well done!
