    Who cares? Jobsworths have boxes to tick.  It's a bit like colouring in. The one who gets the most coloured in gets a desk by the window and holidays at half term.

    Well - all those hordes of people....they can't manage without one you know... ;)
    We had none for miles around at our last house. Perfectly normal in those settings.

    Do they think all roads have pavements then? Maybe these planners never go beyond town settings  :D

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    We walk the dogs around the lanes here every day. No pavements. Admittedly, I don't always feel entirely happy about the speed that some people drive past us, but I doubt if a pavement would help, even if the road was wide enough to accommodate one. In fact, it would probably make it worse

    The development next to us had it thrown back as the pavements needed to be 2m wide, and each house two off road parking spaces. They also had to alter  the bends so that a bin lorry could get round.

    2m path width. Essential to allow two fat people to waddle last each other.

    Of course the three bungalows supposed to be for the disabled, are on the steepest part of the site, and down steps... but they do have space to park a mobility scooter.

    How stupid to put the disabled people's bungalows down steps. Hope the bin lorry can get to them though and the bins don't have to be carted up the steps. Some people have no common sense, seemingly.
