Footpaths have served as overflow car parks for decades.

In Ireland, unlike most of the UK, pavement parking has been completely illegal since 1997.

The law is routinely ignored by both drivers and enforcement authorities. Why? Because it’s easier to indulge car ownership than to challenge it.

Real Gaz on a proper bike: [email protected] @gazza-d.bsky.social · 1d

Good to see these calls.
It's a scandal that the consultation on pavement parking has been sat on for 5 years. Conservatives and Labour are both equally culpable and only care about driver convenience.

Thanks for those insights.

Now that you mention it, identifying their preferences and priorities is quite straightforward.

It seems that their approach is one that has persisted for decades, despite its obvious unsustainability: construction of new roads to "open up" land for development.

It looks like Ukraine would like to destroy the bridge sooner rather than later. Otherwise why make repeated attempts?

In terms of liberating Crimea, it would probably make strategic sense to leave Russia with an exit. But what would be the best route for that?
