Last year they renamed of part of #Nuneaton's ring-road, formerly the Roanne Ringway, to Jubilee Way. Now Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council want to rename another traffic sewer, Coton Road, to King Charles Road.

Not only is this an ill-judged waste of money and time, massively inconveniencing residents and businesses whose addresses are affected (including themselves) but they don't even include the 'III' in the name!

And then these, again in a #Nuneaton and #Bedworth Borough Council session, back in December 2021:

This comes after anti-cycling comments were made in a #Nuneaton and #Bedworth Borough Council session back in January:

More local Tory councillors have shown their hostility to enabling modal shift and improving cycling infrastructure in a recent Borough Council Committee session, with comments that are ill-informed and untrue.

The amount of #plastic tat being pushed at events attracting a crowd is abhorrent in its wastefulness. Think of the resources going into making, shipping this junk, and for what? To be played with for five minutes before being thrown away. Even worse those that have electronics in them. There's absolutely no need.

It puts a downer on events like #Nuneaton's #ChristmasLights switch-on this evening. The Council should prohibit it. But it won't. #NBBCouncil

Potential FoI request for early next year, I think.

With the local council saying there's no free parking this year, doesn't this serve as an ideal opportunity to evaluate the impact of such schemes? I wonder if they have data on the number of people use car parks last year (free parking) which can be compared to usage this year (charged parking).

If data exists, we could compare town centre footfall overall as well.

Good to see some sense from #NBBCouncil - no free #CarParking in #Nuneaton and #Bedworth this year!

I never understand why free parking is generally such a thing over the Christmas period. With all the shopping, what's an extra few pounds to park the car? Why should there be yet another driving subsidy? (I can see the conundrum when neighbouring towns ARE offering it though).

Of course, you can guess how the FB comments are all going on this! Must. Not. Antagonise! 😂
