Can groups of men maybe please stop hogging spaces that women may feel uncomfortable having to squeeze past you so they end up avoiding using the space altogether? Like that one really good entrance to the water at a swim spot, for example.

The fact that the Oriel Provost, Lord Mendoza, is also the Head of Historic England should be good news for the UPP. However, he tried to block the designation (as published in The Times on 25.06.25). Seems like Oriel really never planned on protecting this historic landmark and community asset...👀

Unfortunately the customer service response was "The app is usually accurate at classifying..." er, no it isn't, hence I complained. I have made more "car journeys" since I've installed the app than I do in a year, and I have "driven" along the towpath. And I am not even a particularly fast cyclist.

The money seems to be almost disappearing somewhere, so obviously, blame disabled people.
