I saw a gang of whites going in to Oliver Bonas. Anyone know what was going on?

I'm very confused. Hitter would vote to stay in, Isis for Brexit. Anyone know what Pol Pot's view would be?

"The results from the speed surveys would indicate that the design of the speed cushions is sufficient in slowing the majority of vehicles down although the low speeds could also be attributed to the need to stop to giveway to oncoming traffic where the carriageway width is reduced as a result of parked vehicles on both sides of the road (See Section 5.2 Traffic Surveys). Site observations confirm that the majority of vehicles travelling along the route have to stop at least once to give-way to oncoming traffic during peak times. " The report finds no evidence of a particular problem with speeding on MG. It also points out that the fact vehicles have to stop in order to let each other pass is effective at slowing people down. Yet, it goes on to suggests full width speed bumps are installed (presumably by Conway who wrote the report?). Under what circumstances would speed bumps not be considered necessary exactly? This whole thing is a total misallocation of resources driven by self interest and knee-jerk politics.

This forum is far from representative of the area (in fact most of the regular posters don't live here). Internet forums in general bring out the worst in peeps. Don't think it's any reflection on real life ED.

Eh? So are there lot's of properties on the market, or not enough. This thread seems to be conflicted.

No such thing as bad publicity.

I'm in the process of watching the Soprano's (just getting to the end of Series 4). It's definitely worth revisiting.

I'm sorry to hear that singalto, it's really unpleasant. It's very disappointing to hear the polices (lack of) response to this.

The police could have easily blocked them off whilst they were busy using an angle grinder to cut a lock, but came in with sirens blaring (thereby giving them plenty of time to hop on their bikes and drive off).

These thieves are completely brazen and really should have been caught by now. Twice I've phone the police, who could have caught them in the act, but for their incompetence (approaching with sirens on).

But why is this a priority for investment? Yes, there are improvements which could be made. Commission a detailed review of any street and it will identify possible improvements? But this is just a perverse way of prioritizing road changes and allocating resources.

More posh cheese on toast!

I have a lucky rabbits foot. I am not superstitious, but apparently they work even if you don't believe in them.

A sensible approach to local traffic management / resource allocation would say: "Let's identify accident black spots and those areas with the highest incidence of speeding and prioritise investment accordingly to ensure the most impact / benefit." The policy we have seems to be: "Let's see which street lobbies the hardest / makes the most noise. Then let's spend money on a report that fails to identify a serious or urgent case for investment..... but then, because the report does (as with any detailed study of any street) identify possible areas for improvement, let?s prioritise spending on addressing these issues.? What is going on?

I used to run to work and back when I was training for the marathon. It was a good way to start the day (harder on the way home). Just as quick as public transport (this says more about public transport than my running abilities by the way). Of course you shower and change when you get to work (why do you think people have backpacks on). Not sure why it should bother anyone. Now a days I do very little exercise at all, to my shame.

So no real problem with speeding, but let's put full width speed bumps in?!

There is so much dust down there.

This has the hallmarks of solution looking for a problem.

It seems odd that the Council should want to restrict day time use of a garden. Anyone have more info?

Whilst it would not surprise me at all if this is true, Guido Fawkes is not always the most reliable of sources.

It's a safe area. Crime rate is 'average' and has been falling for a number of years. Check out http://maps.met.police.uk/ for details.
