Sorry, another petition against LTNs but this one goes London wide so may get a lot more signatures to help Unblock Side Streets in London http://chng.it/twbpGmDNtz

It's similar to BUPA hospitals I suspect, where NHS consultants also do private work in tandem to their full time jobs. It could well be related to the new US embassy in Vauxhall and the increase in American workers over here at the moment (wild guess) If it's just one hospital then it's not a big concern, but if the first of many then it possibly warrants a bit of concern.

Plus, I suspect that the cycling lobby will of course ensure that for the days the count is being done, non local cyclists would flood the roads then vanish again post the review. Easy to skew numbers if you want to.

My advice, set up a proper website shop using one of the services like one 2 one my website or wix or similar where you can use templates then drag / drop items into the design. It will give you more control and you aren't excluding people who don't want to use face book (plus you don't have issues around facebook potentially having access to your clients data) Then you can link all your social media tools to it so a click on instagram will take clients to the buy me now page on your website Another advantage is you get a dedicated branded email address to that matches your website so if you use mail chimp or similar for marketing it all looks cohesive and a single brand.

This is a few months old but may help explain the issues faced by the sorting offices

Not sure this is the best thread to add this to. Just read that grants for switching to electric cars have been changed BBC News - Grants to buy electric cars to be cut to ?2,500 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56441639 Doesn't make it easy to move from fossil to ev as the cost of electric cars is potentially a limiting factor.

There have now been over 57thousand complaints to ofcom about Piers Morgan on good morning. Struth, that's shocking as I didn't think that many people actually watch the show 😱

There are some bus routes, not local , that aren't running due to a strike today. If the move is to use public transport more, and to drive car ownership and usage down then imagine the chaos a strike by any or all of the transport unions would cause. Whilst the overall goal is to increase public transport usage, there has to be viable alternatives available. Just look at the issues caused by road works on the ED roundabout this week where buses were terminating early. One solution doesn't fit all.

Apparently only another day, but that's a Conway estimate 😆

Roky, the vibration caused by cars and bigger vehicles passing over humps causes cracks to appear in plaster as the vibration acts like a shock wave.

There needs to be a single funding effort to do this and to fight for consultations on the the LTNs Although both things (air pollution monitoring and consultations) are the councils responsibility yet they are stubbornly and spectacularly failing to engage on both fronts. Maybe the funding would be better spent on a legal case to get the council to do the right thing and not fob us off with "covid restrictions" which isn't cutting the mustard any more.

Interestingly, and I don't believe her, but someone I know swears blind that Americans speak the Queens English as it was when the founders left on the Mayflower and it's us who've dumbed it down. My counter argument with her is that she's referring to queens the NY district and not ER ii the Queen.

Hmm Tfl seem to hold the register of all road works http://public.londonworks.gov.uk/roadworks/home And it's no longer part of southwark's website. Which lends credence to the mayor having overview of all roadworks, not just on tfl roads. (Of course a burst main is an emergency, but whilst the hole is there other planned works can occur) Ex you do have the same characteristics of a council employee, are you sure your not a southwark patsy?

Oh man Two point five four centimeter worm sure wouldn't have the same stylistic symmetry 😱

Interesting view johnl, the "positives none" Like the pub work force, if there's no positive reason to stay they wouldn't be here, so if ex pats are staying then there has to be some reason or positives, hence why I think that Liz should be writing an unbiased article and not a negative hearsay article. A lot of the ex pats I know have a lot of positive reasons to stay along with a number of frustrations.

If Liz Rowlinson writes an unbiased article then your question might be answered is my guess.

Cunning plan as in putting your underpants on your head, shoving pencils up your nose and saying "wibble" Although to be fair, I get the impression that's exactly what the council do when they get complaints...

Are you prepared to put your assumption on support to a formal fair open consultation that involves those who live on roads now carrying excessive traffic caused by LTNs? It's got to be fair for all, not just a minority

This was reposted by "open our roads"and whilst it reflects Waltham Forest it also shows all London boroughs. Time for local councils to wake up to the issues the LTNs are causing and the very real risk of paramedics not getting to people in time.

Typical journalist with a contradictory request "It's not political" and "share any practical issues/difficulties caused by Brexit" If it was truly non political you should be asking for positives and negatives to produce a balanced article not a one sided biased article.

It's the same down Rye Lane, although that's in part caused by the lane being closed to traffic so the taggers feel free to spray without being observed from passing bus passengers or police patrol cars. One of the downsides of closing a shopping area to traffic without increasing security.
