This is the 10:27 bus from North Walsham to Norwich. Parts of rural Norfolk are served by this excellent service. Every 30 minutes. The bus is already full. Shows that good regular public transport has a bright future if it's properly funded and well run.

Peacock Roundabout Highway improvement works at Peacock Roundabout start 12 Jan 2026. Expect road closures, diversions, and delays.

New pedestrian crossing on Nantwich bypass. Access for cyclists will be maintained, possibly with the need to dismount. That's no good if you can't physically dismount and push your cycle.

Nice email from Tim Roca MP today about Avanti's reply to him about cycle parking at Macc station. They don't plan on doing anything beyond "keeping an eye on it". I don't have much hope that they will reinstate the bike space that they have removed. Poor.

Reported all these to CEC and also wrote to local Ward Councillors.

This just looks like a poorly implemented bad idea to me. Don't they just fill up with crap? And aren't they likely to be unusable in some icy/snowy weather?

Evidence gathering. 1. No dropped kerb. 2. Uneven surface means have to use grass. 3. Poor visibility.

Not sure that I would go quite that far but more education about not releasing them is always good. It might have been released accidentally of course.

Not being a bad loser is often held up as being a fundamental British value. It will be interesting today to see how that plays out with Reform.

There's also a tendency of the MSM to imply that what happens in London is typical of cyclists across the country. I suspect that London is an outlier in respect of cycling behaviour.

If Farage turned up on your doorstep campaigning for a local candidate, is your best course of action:

1. Invite him in for a cup of tea and a chat to delay him and waste his time
2. Tell him to clear off
3. Something else?

Esther McVey calls for halal and kosher meat to be labelled - immediately reminded it already is Tory MP Esther McVey has been ridiculed after she called for the compulsory labelling of halal and kosher meat.

"How would Jews and Muslims know whether they can eat it if it wasn't already labelled"

I put in an FOI about the reasons. I will try and dig it out for you. ISTR that they said it was a COVID thing and as soon as COVID receded, it wasn't needed. Money wasted.

Traffic calmed road with speed humps. Interesting that the poster doesn't seem to attach any responsibility to the driver. Of course not.

Perhaps CEC should consider giving Primary Schools like St John's, a pedestrian crossing? The road outside was briefly 20mph but that limit was lifted. The cycle lane was abandoned years ago. Ivy Road, Macc.
