Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I’m surprised to find myself not having a problem with the term ‘active travel’ - walking or cycling presumably, as opposed to passive travel in a car. How they get buses into the former slot is a mystery however.

I was nonetheless amused by raising car parking to fight inflation. That might need some unpacking.

The bus doesn't drop you at your exact destination so there's a walk involved?

I'm struggling with raising the cost of resident permits to increase active travel. Too small to make you want to sell your car, flat rate doesn't put you off individual trips.

Is that not very much lighter than air? Best not use it outdoors in that case.
