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. That's it.

If only they did collect them when they should, they told me that my
garden waste bin was not at the front of my house and sent me a photo to
prove it, trouble was it showed a car that had been sold three months
before.

The list of excuses was quite amazing.

Mine are fine until they see the wrong thing in a recycle bin, then they won't collect it. It's fine for me in a culdesac, but if you're on a street with through traffic, dogwalkers shove stuff in your recycle bin as they pass, then the council blame you!

They should collect YOU and dispose of you on the dump! Everybody would be
