His list of proposals include:

  • Action to stop e-bikes and scooters being ridden on pavements
  • An end to ‘street scars’, where gaps in street paving are replaced with tarmac
  • A “galvanising” national goal to reduce the amount of litter
  • Councils to sort dumping of fridges, mattresses and broken cars
  • Action to stop phone boxes and street furniture being covered in graffiti

What a bastard /s.

Admittedly, I don’t take the train or bus anywhere near as much as I used to, but when I did there were always poster adverts about being respectful towards other riders and staff. Have those gone away, or is it that there is another influence supplanting that messaging?

Perhaps phones being much more engaging that people actually spend a lot less time reading the PSAs and adverts around them?

In a weirdly similar way, I remember pre COVID there used to be so many more drivers that would be blasting music with their windows down that it rarely deserved a second thought. It’s much more rare to hear it nowadays, to the extent that when I do, it seems so much more obnoxious.

I think most applicable surface now just contain commercial adverts. Side effects of needing other revenue streams because investment is so bad? Maybe.

Create post

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
