It's a six month trial - surely anyone who wants to improve the common would support this? If it really does turn out to be a bad idea, that will become pretty obvious. But if it turns out to have minimal impact on surrounding roads, and massively improves a cherished public space, what's not to like?
I think the question of enforcement should be handled separately: If we think it is a good idea, there are many ways to enforce it, and to make it self-enforcing.
Our children both had glasses early. Your GP should be able to get you a referral to an eye specialist. I'd just start there - at the risk of being rude, it sounds like you might be worrying about this a bit much! More and more children are having sight issues diagnosed early, and that's a good thin...
Try looking at this differently. You've just gone for a job interview, and someone asked you about your home situation. They then decided not to offer you a role because you told them you have children, and spend as much time as you can with them. They were, understandably, worried that you wouldn't...
The recent deaths of people cycling have absolutely nothing to do with the use of helmets, though: people die on bicycles because they've been in incidents with vehicles many times larger and less forgiving than they are. I really can't think of something less important than legislating to make chil...
....did something happened before?....or does the crazy guy just comes out of the blue in his car, ready to kill anybody who looks at him in a wrong way? Then don't u think the punishment is already much too much?....social medias...including trip advisor reviews...newspaper... What will be the cos...
Despite a lot of the comments about the general insensitivity of men, I can assure you (and others) that if he ever announced his grand plan out loud in front of most married guys they'd tell him he was being a dick & to grow up and go home. Exactly. Not read the full initial post, but sounds l...
And ideally the adults cycling with the children would wear helmets too. I see so many adults riding along with helmet-ed kids, but not wearing one themselves. If mum/dad/etc. gets a head injury they're not going to be much help to the child, not to mention isn't it easier to ensure the child wears...
It's a very useful post, but I'd suggest using a picture of a child wearing a cycling helmet is rather pointless given that it offers no protection against the most common items mentioned, but more importantly, as shown, it is a danger to the child because it isn't being worn properly.
There's some discussion about this school site - which is terrible - on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/proposedmanorcircusschool/?fref=ts I live very nearby the site, but am fortunate that both children already go to Holy Trinity: the site is awful for a whole range of reasons, and the co...
This is a really interesting read, from the 'Near Miss' Project. I'm not seeking to justify cyclists breaking the rules, but if you've ever driven in London, this is a worthwhile article to read. As the article observes, we have a toxic road culture, with every mode of transport identified. http://w...
"At a junction. When crossing the road, look out for traffic turning into the road, especially from behind you. If you have started crossing and traffic wants to turn into the road, you have priority and they should give way (see Rule 170)." No 8, here: https://www.gov.uk/rules-pedestrians...
