Levy on Licence premises New Southwark Consultation

[Sidll1]

Hard on the heels of attempt to kill Lordship Lane with CPZ comes next assault on local businesses. Consultation on proposed levy on licensed premises open after midnight has been announced.

Why not close all businesses down and create a giant cycle park and use empty shops for drop in consultation surgeries.

With all the serious local and international issues, and the Labour Party mired in hatred and antisemitism, only Southwark could become a one issue party completely dominated by the People?s front for Cycling.

Council are desperate for cash I guess? All those 6 figure salaries need to be paid somehow?

[rendelharris]

Wow, cyclists and cycling really are becoming the new go-to scapegoat for some people, aren't they?

Speaking of the Two Wheeled Peril, it'd be nice if TFL could spend a few quid and get some Boris Bikes for ED

Are you mad? They'd take up valuable carparking spaces or stop elderly people getting down the pavement or (fill in generic reason why bicycling is second only to smallpox as a threat to health and happiness).

Do you have any evidence for this statement?

[JoeLeg]

Maybe take it to a different thread Chick?

It?s a volatile subject, likely to lead to serious thread detailing.

Chick did you not notice the 8 Labour party MPs resigning from the party last week?

Back on topic, this consultation is for a borough wide tax on all businesses selling alcohol after 12am. 70% of the funds raised will go to the Met who can then spend it as they see fit pretty much anywhere within the M25

To be honest the OP derailed their own thread right from the start - only one sentence is about the actual topic, the rest is moaning about Labour and cycling, which is presumably why Admin lounged it a soon as it was posted.

I do apologise; not quite sure what came over me there. I must be suffering from lack of car exhaust fumes or something :) you are clearly right, down with all this health and happiness stuff and nonsense!
