Removal of "drone' stop sign

[Rockets]

Cllr McAsh has allegedly issued a statement following the removal of the drone stop sign on Commercial Way. He is heard to have said: "One of our 300 parking wardens circling the borough to tax Southwark residents noticed something strange being attached to a lamp post. It appeared to be a flagrant, personalised attack on the council's war on cars, sorry I mean climate crisis response, and we took this very personally so we instructed council officers to remove it immediately and have it destroyed. Clearly the sign was erected by a racist, right wing petrol guzzling Daily Mail reader who also has the audacity to own a garden. Moreover, I am pleased to announce that our plans to role out drones to police CPZs and LTNs will only start when the current deal with Apcoa reaches the target of £500m revenue generated from parking fines for local residents. We expect that to happen by May at the latest."

 

When challenged on whether the sign was actually a Banksy work of art worth £500,000 Cllr McAsh responded: "Does he drive a car? £500,000  you say...we will find it and sell it to fund another 300 wardens and a proper Southwark council Christmas party".

 

Some of the above may not have actually happened....;-)

Have you hit the Xmas sherry, egg nogs and baby shams a little early?

Far from it Malumbu, just trying to inject a bit of brevity and humour by using a local news story...you should try it some time.
