Just a reminder to anyone who parks on Lacon road to be careful of the dropped kerb under the tree near the junction with Crawthew.

The double yellow lines stop just before the dropped kerb and so many many people are caught out, thinking they're OK to park.

My personal record is seeing 4 different cars ticketed on the same day.

Southwark must be earning a fortune from it and the set up of the yellow lines makes it look deliberate. Alright, everyone should know not to park over a dropped kerb, but having probably driven round and round and round looking for a parking space, it's easy not to notice.

You cannot have an inch of your bumper hanging over a dropped kerb or you will get a ticket (usually at 7am!) The council have at least 2 mopeds going around in the mornings checking kerbs and disabled bays in that immediate area.

One thing I have noticed since the double yellows have been put in place is that parking is being wasted as people, in their eagerness to have their car door opposite their front door, are wasting 2 or 3 feet of space near the corners....

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      Today we are seeing the impact of increased taxes (employers NI) with tje UK unemployment rate rising  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxrp7znkdlo Unfortunately, to increase tax burdens will see the economy stall or a recession, as Angelina says, cutting spending, whilst painful short term, is a good way to bring down government borrowing.  True, we don't want to see cuts to services but there are other areas of government spending that can be reduced and with AI impacting all jobs across all businesses, maybe it will also reduce overall staffing costs.

      or cut costs.  The cost of debt is a huge burden, it cannot be increased.

      Yes, they should clearly have been more honest on taxes before the election and not backed themselves into a corner. After 14 years of mismanagement and decline, they have to invest and at the same time start to bring borrowing down (otherwise they continues to be at the mercy of the bond markets). Continued cuts / degrading of public services is counter productive (a successful economy and society needs good infrastructure, education and health care).  The single biggest thing they could do to immediately improve growth would be to rejoin the single market, but I appreciate that is difficult politically.  So if you can't significantly boost growth short term, can't cut too much further, and need to raise money without borrowing, that only really leaves taxation.    Of course, where best to target those taxes - that's the real question.
