I'd love to have one, but not sure where I would fit a 1×2m water tank in a Victorian terrace without undertaking major structural work.

The TV commentators still talk up the attendances in spite of the very obvious empty seats.

It's been happening for many years and isn't "spontaneous". Good reason to avoid such places.

I hope Morrison's are paying Cohen the same as equivalent staff for his "placement".

An interesting example of "family voting" in there too.

The headline doesn't match the content of the article. It doesn't suggest a widespread backlash against green policies in Denmark, just the far right minority indulging in culture war populism as usual.

Where I live, Voi scooters are one of the many hazards faced by pedestrians, so I'm a bit cynical about their commitment to putting pedestrians first

A slightly scary Alvin Stardust too.

You are far too kind to the previous Tory-led council in W Northants. Yes, they declared a climate emergency, but showed no intention of acting on it. Active Travel funding was either squandered on perfunctory schemes or not taken up. Reform are predictably bad, but no worse than their predecessors.

The Abington Active Travel scheme is out for consultation, if anyone wishes to contribute. I hate to criticise any such plan, but in my view it's unambitious, superficial and won't benefit active travel. @wearecawn.bsky.social www.westnorthants.gov.uk/news/abingto...

They no longer seem to do spicy tomato flavour which was always my favourite.

Good and fair article. But MK is a cycling paradise compared with Northampton 20 miles up the road.

The article mentions "fight[ing] for more regulation". There is already regulation, but no enforcement. Like others, from my own experience, the problem is with illegal electric motorbikes rather than e-bikes and I despair at news outlets not making the distinction.

I can never get past Alexei Sayle's "the paramilitary wing of the Co-op"

We have these in Northampton for connecting the gutter downpipe to the street and sure enough they are all clogged with litter, moss, etc.

That illustrates his point nicely.

In West Northants the previous council was a Conservative majority with stone age views on travel, so no change to policy with Reform. But even here there is some historic infrastructure that they will be afraid to change.

When I first moved to the South East I spent a few months in Harold Wood, and what struck me most was the sense of isolation living between the A12 and A127. Plus the huge amount of time it took to drive anywhere. Good train services though.

So I voted for you and you aren't on my side as a pedestrian/cyclist/train passenger? Why are drivers a special case?

Keep the tank to the side of the screen and then ram it. The guided missle on the other hand...

Yes, I see a lot of social media posts linking our rubbish strewn streets to immigration. Food for thought.

In Northampton we have a council who are hostile to investing in active travel. The scooter hire scheme gives the illusion of "green" transport policy with minimal investment. As the roads are dangerous the scooters are often ridden on pavements.
