Absolutely ridiculous situation in Chester as major through route closed - with only 1 man on site actually working - causing daily traffic chaos for 1,000s. Heads should roll

SAVE OUR GRAVEDIGGER'S HUT !!
CW&C have plans for the gravediggers hut in Overleigh New Cemetery to be demolished. It is an important historical feature of Overleigh New Cemetery. Also believe it is a very rare example of a gravedigger's hut.

Might as well throw this into the mix - since 2022 the highway code states that pedestrians have priority at junctions. Does anyone not know this ? Stand at any junction and find out.

So the Queen and Duchess of Sussex are visiting Storyhouse and luncheoning at the Town hall next week & our council are busy sprucing up the short distance between. What a pity the Royal party aren't going for a longer walkabout - we could have enjoyed a complete city makeover ;)

It's a disgrace ! South side of the river Dee opposite the Groves gets ignored by the council. Benches along the 'Promenade' are either smothered by bushes or afford zero views of the river

UNSUNG HEROES on Lache Lane have u seen a guy picking up rubbish from the grass verges & the many bags he fills. U probably assume he works for council & don't realise he volunteers; I stopped & thanked him for his work. He's Robert one of many unsung heroes in our community.

Down Eccleston by the river this bit of tarmac is owned apparently by the Duke of Westminster & has been barricaded to prevent walkers from parking. No restrictions on the rest of the road though, so what’s the point?

Overleigh Cemetery looking neat & tidy. The council often gets criticised during the summer when the grass grows like crazy but for the rest of the year they do a decent job.

It's still illegal to use privately owned e-scooters on public roads, pavements & cycle paths, so with Gingers gone it should be easy for the police etc to catch anyone using one in

Will they take up the fight to have legislation introduced to make owners of Student HMO and PBSA start paying a business rate rather than allowing the residents of our city to pay for the services they benefit from but do not pay for?
