@Shiwon_NZ_Ao Agree they need more, for all our sakes. We don’t want to lose experts. But how we will we fund it? Are means tested NHS charges or cuts to other services the only way this happens?

@MoneySavingExp Used many car hire companies before for work and they are reasonable until you get any damage, at which point the excess is ridiculous.

@JosiahMoth06 The Blackwall tunnel derby 😂 would love it if Charlton could get to play clubs like West Ham. Great supporters and nice and local.

@kellyjayoakes1 @NandosUK It’s a new spin on butterfly chicken

@THINKgovuk Why would people be waiting to cross if people crossing have the right of way? What are they waiting for?

@foreverboleyn__ @JackMRog You lose me at “VHS Case isn’t suspicious” 😂

@JustStop_Oil I bet the government will be devastated that you interrupted a first round snooker match between two relatively unknown players 😂 NEXT

@GaryinScotland @carltonreid That’s good to know 👍🏻

@cyclegaz Blimey! Awful dangerous driver! The rear view camera shows how bad their Road positioning was beforehand. Makes you wonder if the left turn was a last second decision and there was zero look, or if they did look and chose that stupidly timed manoeuvre.

@VronP7 @DaveF63 @carltonreid Thank you 👍🏻

[Charlie @CharlieBugabuga]

@DaveF63 @carltonreid Do councils not plan street parking with emergency vehicles in mind? That would allow roads to remain open but guarantee width (barring illegal parking).

[Charlie @CharlieBugabuga]

@DaveF63 @carltonreid Dave. We can all find articles that agree our points. Prefer to have a conversation though, with differing viewpoints. As Carlton points out, the situation is different in Jesmond. Interesting to know, my experience of LTN’s could be similar for others around the UK.

[Charlie @CharlieBugabuga]

@DaveF63 @carltonreid Confirms the one size fits all argument when I just confirmed the road is wide enough for fire engines. Parked cars could block roads………..bollards and planters definitely do. Parking spaces could also be planned appropriately by councils.

[Charlie @CharlieBugabuga]

@carltonreid I did, I speak from personal experience of LTN’s in Islington, where planters prevented access to an ambulance, on streets wide enough for fire engines. I am reminded of the sad outcome by reading articles like this one with a one size fits all argument about narrow roads.

@elliotm_95 @BDShakespeare @phonekills @RBKC I agree a pedestrian crossing would be a solution. There isn’t one on many busy streets where there is rarely a gap in pedestrian traffic. Cars on the other hand will leave a gap for natural traffic across a junction/yellow box scenario, which becomes a natural opportunity to go

[Charlie @CharlieBugabuga]

@elliotm_95 @BDShakespeare @phonekills @RBKC On a road like High Street Kensington, there is a constant stream of pedestrians. What are drivers supposed to do if they don’t start turning?

[Charlie @CharlieBugabuga]

@BDShakespeare @phonekills @RBKC Genuine question. Pedestrian approached the crossing at about the point in this screenshot. Was walking at that point as opposed to waiting to cross. How should the driver act? Considering they are now blocking traffic and an obstacle for oncoming cyclists.
