I followed the link. I venture to suggest that they won't be selling many of these:



 

Just read the item on the Chesterfield Post website about this. I have to say I find the timing tremendously interesting, coming quite soon after his Liberal chums put him forward as Mayor - something which I'd have thought would put all this "No-one's listening to me" stuff into some sort of context. Perhaps he'll move on when he discovers that UKIP is little more than a BNP for real ale lovers 

Having walked over paving featuring old railway tickets, visitors will pass over the improved footbridge and onto Corporation Street, where they will walk over paving featuring last night's half-digested kebabs, and pools of purple vomit.

Nice.

Also handy for checking the price of an item where the price has been covered up with a bogus "Sorry - out of stock" label.

If the council hadn't fallen over themselves to grant so many liquor licenses for "conversions" in the town, especially in the Corporation Street area, then this problem would have been far less prevalent.

And yes, they could have refused - the grounds for refusal under proliferation have always been there, as I understand it.

What a shame we abolished transportation. Send him off to some ghastly penal colony at the other end of the Earth.

If it's only £7 then I might welcome it where I am - Sheffield Road end of Stand Road. There's plenty of parking on Sheff Rd itself and a free, all-day car park opposite me, but people still park outside the houses there.

My only reservations are 1) that, elsewhere, bits of road near junctions such as mine have this "permit holder or one hour" type of sign over them, thus allowing Joe Public to park, and 2) the scheme doesn't apply on Sundays, when the kids' football on the park brings in far more cars than the car park can cope with and I end up having to hump heavy bags of shopping some distance to my house.
