If you want to cycle but can't because you have nowhere safe or accessible to keep a bike, you might be interested in Southwark Cyclists' new guide on how to get cycle parking http://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/cycle-parking-guide/


There are links to various websites where you can request cycle parking of various different kinds, from Sheffield stands - the usual U-shapes found on shopping streets - to individual lockers and the new 'breadbin' style hangars for six bikes. There's also some specific advice on proposing locations for cycle parking to the council's Cleaner Greener Safer scheme.


Several EDF people applied last year - and two were successful, in Heber and Ulverscroft Road, thanks to supportive councillors. The hangars haven't yet been installed - but they will be! The deadline this year is 7 November, and it's a very simple online form, so it's well worth applying if you have a good idea.

    • Very happy to add my recommendation for Leon, who has now helped me out twice. Prompt, efficient and helpful.
    • 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.
