On May 5, 1821, Emperor Napoleon died in exile on the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic. Today also marks 420 days since Cllr Sarah Warren said she wanted a healthy debate on LTNs and how we get around in Bath. We're still waiting, Sarah.

On May 3, 1979, Margaret Thatcher won the United Kingdom general election. Today also marks 418 days since Cllr Sarah Warren said she wanted a healthy debate on LTNs and how we get around in Bath. Still no sign of that debate.

My thoughts are with those in #Dorset this morning, you now have a Liberal Democrats council

Like #Somerset you will now see massive increases in council tax, parking charges and your beautiful green spaces covered in solar and ugly housing, before they go bust

At risk?

He should never have been subversively imposed on the party by the Westminster Remainer Tory Blob.

They were warned and in their arrogance they ignored the party members who have always been proven to be correct regarding elections.

Bath & NE Somerset Council spent £780,000 on ONE bike lane.

Result:
• Bike journeys DECREASED by 10%.
• Vehicle journeys hardly changed.

BathNES Liberal Democrats 🔶 stop wasting public money.

So not about selecting the most qualified person for the job? This is why our PPC shouldn’t be elected by political ideologists. If there were a suitably qualified Labour candidate I might vote for them. But they didn’t have 35 year’s military experience.

A niche politics post (I don’t belong to a party) but I hope BathNES Liberal Democrats 🔶 look carefully at this breakdown after their first year in power - they came 4th/4, v unpopular! Months from a General Election!

Rod Steele 🇬🇧 It could well be shared use for all I know, but bloody hell, how do these people get through the day.

All they do is whinge.

Right wing voters didn’t bother to vote because they hate the Tories.

Stay at home and sulk and every councillor, MP running our country will be a ‘progressive’ pushing gender ideology, more immigration, higher taxes, anti-car Net Zero policies for the next 5 years.

Tim Lennon Whenever I see these types of barriers there's generally a no cycling sign at the start of the alley.

Tim Lennon Looks like a pedestrian passage, not a place for wheeled transport of any kind. Got a bike, couldn’t they have ridden on a different route? A car would have to do that.

Tim Lennon Valky No cycling on the path😏💚

Tim Lennon It's working fine, made to stop entitled cyclists from using the footpath

It’s disastrous everywhere. Sunak is a dud - Conservative MPs need to do the necessary. He must go now.

Wera Hobhouse MP 🔶 🇺🇦 3SG I used to volunteer but now would be a xckuded thanks to the Lib Dem obsession with lack of cars in the city and excluding disabled and less abled drivers. Seems you are only welcome of you are fit and able to walk or cycle.

Whose mad idea is the Milsom Quarter? Who asked for it? Who is pushing it? How will it be funded? Does it have any support? Bath has far too many top-down schemes from planners. Leave our city alone!

This is for all of us damned as “Covid deniers” and worse for questioning lockdown.
Every day now brings more evidence, more vindication.
