Labour in Peterborough “could” still control Council

Following this weeks local elections in the city, the Tories were quick to infer that they'd continue as "normal" in running things. But that might still change!?

Time to scrap the Cambs and Peterborough Police and Crime Commissioner?

Has the role really improved local policing or has it become a political perk position, that benefits a handful of individuals, but not the community as a whole?

Labour et al avoid “political bullet” in Pboro!

After thousands of votes were cast, tens of thousands of £'s spent and an opportunity for change, the status quo at Peterborough City Council looks likely to remain the same i.e. no overall control.

Paul Bristow’s response to PartyGate is “embarrasing”!

Despite Boris Johnson FINALLY admitting he broke the law, Peterborough's Tory MP, has been supa-silent on the matter!

https://ift.tt/sXBpi4h

Why is Paul Bristow MP so QUIET RE: #Partygate?

 

 🤳🏽 Search the term "Partygate" on Mr Bristow's #Twitter account and the number of mentions = 0

 🤔 I believe if the law had been broken by a single parent, a member of the traveller community, dare I say, someone from a minority background.... 📢 #PaulBristowMP would have been overtly vocal on the issue⁉️ 

👩🏿‍⚖️ Look 👀 how proud and loud he was regarding ex-MP #FionaOnasanya and compare to his timid and limited comments on his own speeding conviction .... his 3rd speeding offence‼️ 

 #Partygate #PaulBristowMP #Peterborough #BorisJohnson #Criminal #LawBreaking #FionaOnasanya #Speeding

Are #Pboro peeps fussed about #PartyGate?

Given Peterborough has a Conservative controlled City Council and its 2 MPs are also Conservative, do people in the City really care about the PM's fibs and partying?

Why are cycle lanes in #Pboro are so s**t?

The Government wants more people to leave the car at home, and walk or cycle. But, in our city, there is a distinct lack of identifiable or effective cycle lanes.

Arriving at the Chadburn Centre, Paston!

 

👏 Places like the Chadburn Centre are essential for the local community❗️ 

☹️ It says a lot that about our city that there are at least 30 car parking 🅿️ spaces here, but only 3 cycle 🚲 racks❗️ 

🗣️ "Quick shout out to all the excellent workers, who keep this place going, providing key services to thousands of local people ... they deserve a pay rise!"

👍 Schools now tell you they are good!

 

👴 In "my day", you kind of expected a school to be "Good!" 😆 

🤔 I guess all these signs outside schools are good for local sign makers❗️😅 

🌳 Great to see some more new trees planted as well❗️ 

📝 There are 4 Ofsted grades for schools, they are Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement and Inadequate.

👍 Good news, bad news and bins!

 

👍🏽 Good to see 👀 the pointless metal sign has now been removed by the Council. 

 👎🏿 Shame about the leaning street 💡 light, though❓

Off -Road cycling! (CO-OP field, Paston) 🚲😂

Q: Do we 🤷🏻 need pathway along here❓ 

➡️ This part of the "field", is a well used by a range of people and as I have said before, especially after or during rain, it become a tad muddy etc 

 #Paston #COOPField #QuantockWay #Pedestrians #PastonRidings #Pittneys #MobilityScooters 👨🏻‍🦽 #WheelchairUsers

Dodgy sign and wobbly light - Reported

 

 🪧 The metal sign has been pointlessly existing for sometime. It serves no purpose, as it includes no info and therefore needs removing. 

🫢 I worry that someone could fall and catch themselves and thus, make a claim against the Council .... who we know don't have any 💷 money at the mo❗️ 

💡 As for the light (PCC12), its been off balance for a few weeks and is therefore not serving its main purpose proficiently. 

Given that lights have been dimmed, we do at least need them to be working properly. Hence it needs fixing.

Harmonious interaction on pathway!

😂 Enjoy the patience, politeness and quality social skills❗️

🤔 Personally, I'd like to see a crossing 🚸 at this location, what do you think of that 💡 idea❓

🤯 Holland Avenue Resurfaced (Walton) ... a bit!

Q: When are the Council gonna sort out the footpath along this stretch of road❓

➡️ I mean it would ONLY help blind people, wheelchair users, people with prams or who have walking issues❗️🤦🏿‍♂️

DANGER ⚠️ Reversing out of a driveway (Croyland Road, Walton)

Have road safety measures worked? (Paston Ridings)

Speeding cars waste taxpayers money! (Gunthorpe Road)

Whilst the introduction of Vehicle Activated Signs along Gunthorpe Road, Gunthorpe, was a step in the right direction, the fact they've no capacity to store relevant data i.e. times/dates of speeding and then collate the info means, they're essentially a flashing light!

🚴🏼‍♀️ Fact about Doctors at Pipistrelle Court (Werrington)

🚲 If you're a cyclist, who and have to visit the doctors or pharmacists at Pipistrelle Court in Werrington Village, you might wonder where you can lock up your bicycle safely❓

#Doctors #PipistrelleCourt #Werrington #Cyclist #Pharmacist #ChurchStreet #WerringtonVillage #TheThreeHorseshoes #Bicycle

🚲Cycleways in Pboro = 💩

👎🏿 In places like #Paston, the cycle path is lacking signage, a smooth surface and clear indication as to which side is for cycle and which side is for pedestrians.

👍🏼 Conversely the road adjacent, #PastonRidings has several clear road markings, safety chicanes and speed bumps, I'd estimate between £30-£100k worth of improvements.

Pothole Problems - Brendon Garth (Paston)

This cul-de-sac of 8 properties has a road that needs improvement, given the amount of cracks in the road? But a more immediate issue, in my opinion, given the possibility of vehicle damage or pedestrians tripping and then seek compensation from the Council etc are the potholes.

📞 I have now reported this to #Peterborough City Council❗️
