Did you all know that more than half of all households headed by an over sixty five have *at least* two spare bedrooms?

Feels like the government are edging towards recognising a smart pay per mile road pricing needs to come in as fuel duty receipts fall. This sounds like a bit of a poor half way house solution by not factoring time and type of roads. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Interesting these stories always focuses on the concerns of well off locals not mentioning that Somerset council has had a 25% increase in the use of temporary housing and is due to go £3m over budget due to this. Somerset needs more house and less NIMBYs. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The new cycle lane layout at the north end of Lambeth bridge is ok (and already at capacity), having a bus stop straight after rejoining the road less so.
