Cycle madness

The works mentioned at reference 1 are now working up to a grand finale. A grand finale of posts marking the boundaries of the new cycle path over West Hill. The snap left captures a cluster of six of them, apparently needed opposite West Hill House. Plenty more in the vicinity.

As an older person who cycles, my thought was that the money would have been better spent paying council care workers a living wage or, alternatively, paying a decent rate for council places in private care homes.

BH's thought was that it was all a covert scheme to provide poles for illegally camping travellers to string their washing from. Or possibly the aerials for their antique long wave radio sets, needed to communicate with their relatives in remote parts of the world.

PS 1: I expect the last few blue plaques to be attached to their poles in the next day or so.

PS2: politics has been a dirty game for at least three thousand years, assuming, that is, that the ancient Egyptians were at it, as seems likely. So, thinking like an operator, doing a mandelson if you like, maybe the council are being cunning. Fed up with all the lobbying by eco-cycle nuts, they decided to go for a harmless but hi-vis project which would really cheese most of us off. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth in local media. With the result that said nuts can be shoved out into the long grass for at least the next ten years. Cheap at half the price.
