These sad looking characters are part of a campaign group that raised £55k to oppose a greenway providing a safe route for people on bikes. Reading an article on the case it seems the real issue their village has is cars, some parked on the narrow lane, others rat running to avoid an M11 junction

Today we are having a fundraising day in the village to raise money for Alexander Armstrong. This popular & much loved millionaire TV presenter has gone from ‘Pointless’ to Poundless. See what I did there? This man truly is a modern day Zelensky. A sort of poor Michael Fabricant.😔

This hedge was flailed over a week ago but there is still detritus likely to puncture car and bike tyres. Presumably it’s economic reasons for the farmers which means the cutting is so infrequent that the waste is so thick? No thought to the external costs to drivers and cyclists
