N.I.M.B.Y's strike again, by all acounts.

Unless of course, recent press articles have had any influence.

It will be approved on appeal. No major agencies objected. Local councillors will inevitably change their vote for fear of being personally financially liable.

I did not mean "personally responsible" but their personal actions could make the council liable for costs c.£10-12k.

Going back 60 years (and probably 100 years) when almost entire houses used public roads for running exercise. Just how far are councillors' houses from the school?
If, as claimed, roads are "dangerous" then that councillor should be forcing the council to make them safe though AFAIR the roads past Shelleys Wood and around the school were wide with acceptable visibility.
What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution.
What happens if all of them drown? That is solution!!!

Ridiculous - I think the council will be liable for costs!
