Taxpayer to save £1.2m a year with new Westminster parking scheme Westminster Council says the new scheme will move the burden of payment from residents to visitors

www.mylondon.news/news/west-lo...
"Westminster residents stumped up more than £1.2million a year through Council Tax to cover parking transaction costs, despite only four per cent of parking transactions coming from local drivers."

We don't even protect children (or adults) against air pollution that well. The "school run" is the perfect example of how we've trapped children into breathing in toxic pollutants right from primary school age

They'd be even quicker if they weren't stuck in traffic all day!

True. I never cycle on fast roads so hadn't considered that

Pass Pixi is an excellent low cost close pass deterrent

Probably very low state of charge. Can cause degradation of the electrolytes. Keep it outside till you can dispose of it safely

Remember, whenever you hear that “speed wasn’t a factor” in a deadly crash, what they mean is that the car involved wasn’t technically speeding. At least “not by much.” It presumes that the speed limit wasn’t too high to begin with.

When it comes to death from collisions, SPEED IS ALWAYS a factor.

Good thing they built that massive multi story car park before announcing this...

"cant afford to cycle" Excuse me?

My e-bike tends to hover around 16.5mph before the assistance cuts out completely. Wonder if they use a similar torque sensor compared to Lime's on/off approach?

You can always tell when there is a state visit when the flurry of private jets come into Northolt

I still haven't forgiven them for removing the one thing that would pressure Brent into doing something around Kenton Road, Watford Road and Northwick Park roundabout.

I spent six years at those bus stops, small world! I hope you're there to help Brent 🙏

According to the Fair Gig Work in Scotland? report riders are exposed to abuses on the roads: • 81% of riders felt unsafe at work • 100% of female respondents reported sexual harassment • 90% experienced verbal abuse • Over 60% reported racial or ethnic harassment • 55% had experienced physical abuse

That is a shocking set of statistics

Screenshot that reads "What would goods and services costing £15 in 2020 cost in Apr 25? £19"

If anything, it's a discount. Considering inflation, it should be £19

"reports of a fire at Hollybush House, a Grade II-listed nine-bedroom property that was reportedly undergoing refurbishment" 🤨 funny how often that happens

Can't wait for the anti-ulez crowd to start spray painting their sensors to block the mass surveilance possibilities these cars bring

We’ve know this for ages but it’s good that this kind of analysis in now on mainstream TV in the UK

20mph road in Brent. Plenty of them in outer London that desperately need thinning out. 70m wide!

A lot of new developments don't even bother with pavements, just "shared spaces" which are exclusively for cars in reality

Yet more handouts

The ones that are a genuine fire risk are already illegal imports

While I completely understand the worry about fires on the Underground, can I tediously point out that the risk almost *never* comes from actual e-bikes, and almost always from what are, under the law, illegal electric motorbikes. Proper, legal, 15mph-limited e-bikes are very, very safe.
