Albert Bridge - one of London’s most beautiful and striking - to be shut to motor traffic for a year for repairs. A fragile beauty.

Parish councils should be mandated to have a spectrum of age ranges on them, with a maximum age limit. Too many are just a bunch of grumpy pensioners with nothing better to do. The national average age is 60 which is ridiculous.
In opposition, Keir Starmer was at pains to emphasise how different he would be to those wicked old corrupt Tories. But in government, it has proved quite another matter, what with Lord Alli’s clothes, Louise Haigh’s phones and Angela Rayner’s missing £40,000 stamp duty.

Even if you don’t drive, 33 bus routes are going to be caught in the mess.
