    Stafford Traffic.

    Hi Gilbert, I really understand, and share, to a certain degree, your concerns. Whilst we may be miles apart in what we believe. I respect that fact that your views, are your true views and I respect that honesty. The fragility of our hard won freedoms is the one thing that I think we share a...

    Stafford Traffic.

    Ah Oxford, don’t you love it! Right first thing congratulations to Oxford for seriously attempting to provide local, easy to access services to your residents. Well done, but that has and should have absolutely nothing to do with trying to resolve your congestion issues. Oxford has a major...

    Stafford Traffic.

    That’s because, as I highlighted earlier, they are misusing and abusing the term. The 15min City is a very simple concept, quote ‘ in which most daily necessities and services, such as work, shopping, education, health, and leisure, should be located within an easily reachable 15-minute walk or...

    Stafford Traffic.

    Yes I can understand your confusion. The 15 min city/ neighbourhood is a term being misused by both its proponents and opponents. Basic rule of thumb, if a council come up with a plan to says it is implementing one and that plan does not, as its central theme, cover how the services are going to...

    Stafford Traffic.

    Exactly :-) 15 min neighbourhoods excourage small local independents. They help to level the playingfield against the big multinationals. Thats why they hate them and lobby against them.

    Stafford Traffic.

    Hi Gilbert, I think we are at cross purposes. I am talking about 15min neighbourhoods whereas you, I believe, are talking about LTN’s (Low traffic Neighbourhoods) a completely different solution to a completely different problem. Please re-read my comment, I make no mention of closing any...

    Stafford Traffic.

    Wow there seems to be a little bit of confusion about what a 15min neighbourhood is. Let’s take a look at the nearest thing we have to one in Stafford. Baswich. Residents of Baswich can walk, in 15 mins, to schools, doctors / health centre, library, community centre, play area, supermarket...

    Cashless Stafford.

    If 666 is the number of pure evil. does that make 25.807 the root of all evil?

    Talk to me about... smart meters.

    Sorry edited my original then saw your post - As an energy policy it has a lot of good points, smoothing demand and all that, but if this is true and they have rolled out meters in peoples houses without disclosing there true purpose would you not classify that as a conspiracy?

    Talk to me about... smart meters.

    It's not based on time - it's based on demand, England in the world cup final 7pm evening = expensive, BBC2 documentary on the lifecycle of the tapeworm at 2 in the morning = cheap :). No company offers this at the moment. Conspiracies do not have to be deep and dark. As an energy policy it...

    Talk to me about... smart meters.

    Yes - but the fact is, if it's true, the government and energy industry have kept this from the public, hence its classification by some as a conspiracy.

    Talk to me about... smart meters.

    Yes - for some it would be better for others worse, If you believe the conspiracy, generally the poor would potentially suffer more. They need power when they need it and cannot afford banks of batteries to play the system like the rich would. Technology like the Tesla battery wall has been...

    Talk to me about... smart meters.

    The smart meter conspiracy is about them being used as a trojan horse to force dynamic pricing onto people in the future. i.e. you pay more when demand is high. Smart meters could enable this. They question why the government has been so keen to get people to install them, when currently they...

    Stafford Eastern Distributor Road.

    No. Climate change. new roads are now bad. Local active travel networks are the new good. Make Stafford a place you would want to go, and make it safe to walk or cycle there. Stay local, spend local - It's the future ;)

    Working hard for Stafford and Penkridge.

    mmm it appears there may be a complete U turn on the way regarding Paterson. Perhaps someone has whispered 'remember Cummings?' in the PM's ear?

    Working hard for Stafford and Penkridge.

    To be fair to Theo it must be exceedingly difficult to differentiate the stink of raw sewage from the stench of corruption oozing from the pores of herself and her colleagues after the vote to save her dishonorable friend yesterday. I guess now she has disabled her conscience and overcome the...

    Defending the Floodplain.

    Good news - It appears to have been approved :-) Not sure what happens next though?

    Defending the Floodplain.

    We Wish :) - no the small slither of land between that and the river, then bending round to the railway. and over to the cycle /path from Baswich bridge.

    Hopefully the council will approve this :-) https://www.inyourarea.co.uk/news/largest-nature-reserve-earmarked-for-heart-of-stafford/ It's at least a start :-)

    Laptop , Cloudbook or Chromebook ?

    Make sure you check that the operating system of the device you choose supports the printer/scanner you have. Having to buy / not buy a new printer can sometimes change your initial choice ;-)
