From Nottinghtransport,com:
"It’s great to see such positive feedback from the community! The bridge is part of the Transforming Cities initiative and aims to enhance pedestrian and cyclist connectivity across the River Trent".
They pat themselves on the back and boast 83% approved the idea. But...
There were 1198 responses. 83% of that is only 991, this means they based their decision on the opinion of less than 0.3% of Nottingham's residents.
More than 400, almost half of those that approved the idea, thought the location was in the wrong place. Looking at the waterside area (99% industrial), access and the West Bridgeford field it ends up in I can see why.

However, it seems his party has known of 'allegations' for months and only now taken action.
That's my point Col. Someone has been digging in the mire, politics and politicians are getting desperate, nasty and personal.
The Tories can't convince us their policies are working, thus we have the attack on Rayner in the hope it damages Labour by association.
Despite the weasel words Labour really have not presented a single itemised or realistic costed argument. I've said it so any times, they are totally bereft of any clear and communicable ideas. Now Menzies has given them a bone to chew.
And so both parties are now resorting to scrabbling in the dirt of the opposition's personal dirty laundry.
It's all a smoke screen to hide to appalling state of UK politics
It's disgusting and I despair...
-
So now it's Starmers turn to demand a police investigation - tit for tat anyone?
I've no idea what Menzies has been up to, but although it all seems rather unsavoury, was it criminal?

I always thought it looked a bit Heath Robinson and somewhat flaky in its construction so well done for keeping it going.

Seems muscular, and I just assumed I'd pulled a muscle, but no idea how.
However..now got central low abdomen pain which hurts more on left if pressed. Bad enough to stop me doing much, which is handy as I'm halfway through refurbishing bathroom.
Err hello??... do be careful Col

She comes across as seriously deranged and in deep denial.
You've missed the big picture. With Trump as president and Farage as PM... what could possibly go wrong...

very proud of my son who took him the distance..
So you should be Ben. Limond was top drawer and fought some real champions, 42wind from 48 fights. He was the first to trouble Khan.
Anyone who went the distance with must have been good...

Not the sort of language I normally associate with you Jim.
I was using language anyone (Raynor), who calls people 'homophobic, racist, misogynistic scum'. would understand. There's more but too rude for this forum.
I don't know any more details than you and I'm sure you noted I did not accuse her of any wrongdoing. I simply replied to your post that new evidence and a new complaint based on it had been made.
I will accuse her of hypocrisy.
I also said politicians are using the police as agents to attack each other. The investigation as I understand it regards her statement in 2015 about her main residence, and is therefore out of time for prosecution making the police investigation pointless. The second allegation is about tax and if she owes for capital gains on the sale of a house.
This is gutter politicking, and the Tories are descending to her level.

Can you not take a joke Brew?
Apparently not, I thought jokes were meant to be funny

I’m still around. I thought the politics section was getting unpleasant and not in the true spirt of the forum.
Having scrolled back through the political and other threads to find anything offensive, and failed, I'm confused that someone who considers a day to be wasted unless he upsets someone has found something to complain about. Reading the thread is not mandatory

Being picky is that the right green or is it the picture, it looks a little pale on my screen and comparing it with the NCT website.

No small wonder, with countries and their leaders threatening and taking violent action against other nations. Yes I am talking about China, North Korea, Israel, Iran, Hamas and other Middle Eastern groups, Donald Trump and no doubt many others.
Some think it's political and a rise of the hard right, yet there is no firm evidence to support it. Those on the left can male an equal claim that the far left is responsible, again with no overwhelming evidence to substantiate it.
Edit
this was turning into a long discourse, a dissertation if you like on the ills and evils in society so most is deleted......
Arthur C Clake was right, H G Wells was right...I just hope Neville Shute was wrong...

'm confused. I was under the impression that the Police had already decided to investigate Angela Raynor's tax affairs a couple of weeks ago. Yet it's headline news on the BBC today,
Apparently witnesses have come forward to offer fresh evidence, and there is a new complaint from a different quarter.
Whilst I would like to see her slapped down, I think it's a sad comment on the state of the political scene today that they are using the police as agents to attack teach other.
Starmer of course is back on the fence of plausible deniability. "I've not seen the legal advice letter, but my team has". Yeah right...

It was at the top end of Maid Marion Way, long gone now...

John Laurence Pearson used his middle name and everyone called him Loll.

That's one view PP and may prove to be right. but it can also be said it's very expensive facility for very few people considering there are two pedestrian/cycling only bridges already existing.

It would seem another survey no one has heard of has taken place with regard to a new bridge over the Trent for pedestrians and cyclists at a cost of 12 million. The city is not paying for the bulk of it, but I do think the money could be better spent. The bridge will cross from the old Waterways site to... well nowhere really.

If there was an excessive wait for treatment, the NHS were able to use the private sector.
They still do but it is now no longer an ad hoc option it's to become a regular part of the service and the cost will come from the budget to the detriment of the NHS. It is no more and no less than creeping privatisation and patients will be the ones who suffer in the long run.
Senior consultants (who stand to gain most), have said as much.
This article explains it better:

That's not at odds with my post, which is quite accurate.
Though it sounds like a temporary solution it probably isn't, it's the thin end of a very big wedge.
It would be easy to blame the Tories, but the NHS had a budget cut before it was even inaugurated by Atlee. Years of mismanagement and political interference have brought us to the parlous state of the NHS today. Now under the guise of reducing waiting times Labour proposes to spend money in the private sector, a quick fix solution that has every likelihood of becoming an expensive permanent policy.
-
Wes Streeting the Shadow Secretary of State for Health, Social Care and hypocrite has declared he wants more private-sector involvement in the NHS.
Can anyone who declared any who oppose his plan to be "middle class lefties. called Corbyn 'senile', admits to binge drinking when he goes out really be a Labour MP?
Surely he's a closet Tory!
No wonder then that Starmer is so reluctant to explain his policies in detail.
How's your day?
