I have responded to the consultation. It isn't clear on the Glossop Road/Upper Hannover Street case whether all the illegal turns are considered. Going towards town from Glossop Road, the number of people making left or right turns on to the ring road is much higher than the number who turn left from Hannover Way onto Glossop Road town-bound. At least that is my experience using this junction at peak times Monday to Friday. The right turn is particularly dangerous for road users travelling outbound across Hannover Way. The other junction which is regularly contravened is also on Glossop Road - the no right turn in to Claremont Place by people using that as a short cut to the Hallamshire Hospital car park/entrance.

It opened at the weekend.

It is clearly good news, but it is hardly a Brexit win. It just isn't a loss. Brexit needs to show it can deliver things better than before, rather than just maintaining things as they were. As yet there is no evidence of that.

But you don't have to pay it. There are plenty of choices of vehicle where the amount payable is £0. Plus, it doesn't fund the roads.

It's not hard. How do they get to and from their vehicle?

The bearded vulture was roosting above Howden reservoir for about 3 weeks and was relatively easy to spot, and it attracted plenty of birdwatching enthusiasts. About 2 weeks ago it relocated to near Crowden/ Torside reservoir, and it is still there as far as I know. There's been plenty of coverage/ discussion on social media and the local/national press.

Well yes, there's this thread for starters, but I wouldn't have known about it otherwise. As I said though, even if you do know about it, the signage is woeful, and the benefits ( to anyone) are hard to see. It smacks of accepting Government funding for fear of missing out, either now or in the future.

Depending where you join the road, it isn't clear that it is a cycle lane, and the barriers give the impression it is closed off...particularly as these barriers have been associated with long running roadworks elsewhere on this road. I knew about the changes to layout there, joined by bike from Corporation St and there aren't any signs to indicate it is an open lane. The whole thing is a complete shambles. Something similar happened in Newcastle, but was removed after a couple if days. This scheme doesn't appear to benefit anyone, unless the objective is to remove capacity and lower induced demand.

I go from the roundabout continue along A61, turn right on to Gibraltar Street to West bar, then up Paradise St to Campo Lane.

It is a dead cat story to deflect away from the announcement about customs checks and non frictionless trade. Johnson couldn't even get his Garden Bridge in London done.

Interesting, there is another image from a different source here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/stockportmike/8445407648

Just to clarify, the blog post is not mine. It is incredible what can be observed. I recently saw something about some Alpine being observable from the Pyrenees, a distance of 400 miles or so.

Yes, and Green Moor Road above Stocksbridge. The Humber Bridge can be seen with the naked eye from there in clear conditions.

I may have misunderstood your post so apologies...but the biggest contributor to climate change is CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels. Plastic also comes from fossil fuels, but only 4% of fossil fuels are used to make plastics. 90% of fossil fuels are used in transport, energy production and heating i.e. they're just burnt, and end up in the atmosphere. Plastic may be a handything that people can campaign against, but it is a drop in the ocean in tackling the climate emergency. It is the rise in global temperatures that will account for major extinction events, not plastic production.
