Such pettiness! http://www.standard.co.uk/news/londo...-a3600461.html 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. |

The bicycle is irrelevant. Most towns have shops with a few goods outside to encourage custom. And the council are blatantly lying. You can see in the first photo in the article that it isn't a narrow pavement. We'd be better off without councils at all. Do you know what they do that's useful? Collect the bins.

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. |

This is cyclists they're dealing with. https://www.facebook.com/towerhamlet...type=3&theater Thank you for so eloquently making the council's point for them. The scene is this: https://ibb.co/jToys5 Carefully note the fact that both aspects of the shop (which is on a corner) are adorned with items laid out on the footway (which I will here call the pavement). There are two pavements adjacent to the shop, one in either street forming the corner. The one I have marked with a red line denoting its width is already restricted by a lamp standard. The width available to mothers pushing prams, etc, is therefore the space between that lamp and the wall/window of the shop. That already-narrow passage is then further reduced by the junk left on the pavement by the proprietors of the shop. The effect is to reduce the availabe width to that marked by the blue line, about 16". The council might - just might - deign to issue a licence for the display of goods on the pavement in the street where the pavement is wider, but there is no way that TH Council will issue a licence for the placing of items on the paavement in the side street, and no reason why they should. The shop's owners are, in common parlance, taking the ****. The £100 seems a lenient penalty in the circumstances. |

The dogs will also exercise your officials taking them for walkies, belly rubbing, patting and get them to play fetch. Wise Up TH for once !!" -- For this race I'm going to be using "beati dogu".
