Unbearably noisy I’ll second that law if you’re prepared to come around to my place, collect up the leaves and shred them so that they can compost down, otherwise I’ll carry on using mine. I have seven dustbin bags full so far this year!

TROSaracen Nov 2023 6:40pm, 25 Nov 2023 27,218 posts	0 TROSaracen A ban on any political content on social media outside of actual campaign time (eg General election run up). It’s toxic, it’s dull, it changes nothing and just creates division, anger and a constant cacophony of shouty people shouting in perpetuity. It increases the entrenched polarisation and rancour. This applies to both the politics I agree with, and that I don’t.

GordonG Nov 2023 11:31am, 28 Nov 2023 10,130 posts	0 GordonG Traffic fines (parking, yellow junction infringement, speeding, etc) can only be enforced a limited number of times over a given period, at each spot. After that, any warnings put in place clearly aren't working so councils will have to make significant changes to warnings, road makings, etc, before they can start charging again (but also only for a limited number of times, after which they'll have to make further changes). If these fines are really only there for safety reasons, them I'm sure the councils won't mind...
