AFAIK, there isn't one on the other side.

I haven't really found this an issue. If some tw*t honks because he's held up all of a few seconds, I'm really not bothered, but can't say it's happened to me personally. I think it would be pretty unlikely that anyone would miss a whole cycle and get caught in a red because there are a couple of buses going straight on.

Well. Only today I was on this stretch, doing 20mph, and an enormous truck was behind me very close and intimidating. When the dotted lines came he stopped me going in to turn left to Sainsbury's it was really awful. I just went up the hill.

How did he stop you?

    • Whilst I completely agree with the first part of your post, I think it's a terrible waste of council workers' time (and our council tax money) to be coming out to clear up individual instances of dog crap. I don't know what the answer is. I don't know why there don't seem to be dog crap bins any more, but even if there were I doubt if these dog owners would use them if they aren't picking up the crap in the first place. I can't remember why dog licences were scrapped? If memory serves they used to be seven and six in old money. Maybe it wasn't cost effective to run the system, but maybe it would be if they cost a lot more. I think dog training should be mandatory as well. I think a lot of people acquired dogs during Covid who maybe hadn't had one before, as the number of dogs around ED seemed to greatly increase around then. On the other hand, I do think most dog owners train their dogs and pick up after them. Unfortunately it's those who don't who we notice.
    • Why did you feel the need to post that? Have you actually read the rest of the thread?
    • He lived in my road, so I bumped into him quite often, but I knew him as Mick, not Mike. We originally met at the opening of The Actress. Crikey, how long ago that seems now. He had a fox in his window 🤣 Not a real one, obviously. I only found out that he had died because I hadn't seen him around for a while,  so I mentioned it  on our road WhatsApp group, and someone on there told me. He had been ill for some time, but he was just in the middle of what must have been extremely expensive private  dental treatment (a lot of implants) so I assume his death was sadly unexpected.
