I see the good folk of Burton Joyce and parts thereabout are having another meeting to discuss the extension to the Loop Road and other changes to the highways which have ruined their lives.
The most wretched of all the changes is the introduction of the ill-named bus plugs on the A614, which mean only buses and cyclists can use the road.
While people in Burma cannot even see a road because they are under 20ft of flood water, some folk in BJ are furious because they have to take the long way round to get their children to Carlton le Willows School.
But fear not, I have a suggestion that could help many in their heroic struggle to get their offspring educated - make the kids walk.
It’s only a few hundred yards from the village to the school, it will provide them with some exercise and cut pollution.
Better still, buy them a bicycle - they’ll get there in five minutes, and be wide awake and invigorated when they get to their desks.

About The Spokesman
- The Spokesman
- Over-the-hill dad of two who refuses to admit he cannot ride a bike like he did in his 20s and goes mountain biking in The Lakes (with full cardiac team on standby). I love to combine cycling with drinking mugs of tea and eating cake. Am trying to teach my daughters to ride their bikes with very little success. My wife won't even go near one.

I totally agree with the Spokesman re the Bus Plug. I also am perturbed that the view is being spread that the environmental impact analysis was "fixed". Probably by people who have not read the report. Much has been made about the petition however I am unclear whether this has been auditted as numerous people have claimed to have signed more than once.
