From @tripeanddrisheen.bsky.social - that's a hefty rent.

Gold blend: The City Council formally disposed of premises near the new public toilets where the Marina Promenade starts, to Cortado Café this week. Clocking in at €52,000 per year for a 10-year lease, that works out at over €4,300 rent per month, or a lot of matcha lattes

I bet if we did an anonymous poll with scrupulously honest responses it would prove something or other.

Arlington. Fernleaf Street. Caller says that some guy is walking around with a baseball bat threatening to hit people. Caller, who stated he is a retired marine, suggested that he would rather the civilian police handle it before he does.

Are you a large organisation that doesn't want to comply with planning? Fill your boots and plough on.

Are you an individual trying to store your bikes ? Prepare to be enforced all the way.

Sign up asking people to slow down ? We'll send in the shock troops to remove it.
