I got Chat GPT to review the claims and counter claims. Here's what it came up with. Seems like a fair summary .... think both sides need to show hard evidence now, in support of their mutually exclusive versions of events ๐Ÿค”

Agreed, Colin.

Such a tranquil feel to it when there's hardly a soul there.

The low sunlight provides some lovely lengthening shadows too. This snap is from the other evening.

I don't so much mind the smell of ciggie smoke, but the sweet oily stench of weed, especially when someone gets on the bus reeking of it, makes me want to retch ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคฎ

Correct!

There's been a very contentious & bitter dispute, hasn't there, with Birkenhead School wishing to sell off their former playing field for housing development, whereas the local Residents' Association is adamant it should be retained as a green space

Not sure whether that's still ongoing?
