Someone ought to remind Tower Hamlets Council that London's pavements
are for the exclusive use of cyclists, with other uses (eg, children
crossing the pavement to get from their front door/gate to a parent's
car) merely tolerated and as long as they don't interfere with the
rights and convenience of cyclists.

And "get a licence for the right to trade on part of the pavement"?

Get a LICENCE?

Pay actual MONEY?

The council's got to be 'avin' a larf, ennit?

This is cyclists they're dealing with.


I notice that the pump has had to be chained up to avoid its theft by a
cyclist.

How people safely get down the pavement beside the shop is a good
question. Looks like a compo claim in waiting.

You obviously haven't seen the clutter outside the Indian shops in
Southall. Their wares are practically reaching the kerb.
Why don't you get a life.
