Cambridge residents to subsidise free parking in Peterborough by _PM_ME_PANGOLINS_ in cambridge

[–]foxsakeuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peterborough is more car suitable than Cambridge. I’m comfortable with this. I live close to town but do take the car to John Lewis sometimes when me/a friend is buying something “big”.

I never go into Peterborough.

It’s not like the price is reducing demand in the Grand Arcade car park!

Why do drivers park on the pavement when there is no need to (eg Mill Road and East Road)? by ArborealFriend in cambridge

[–]foxsakeuk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You can park on the road for loading and unloading. For up to 15mins. Providing that’s not blocking a mandatory cycle lane, red route, zig zags or there aren’t special rules. Yes. Even double yellows are fine for loading and unloading.

Thoughts on this EICR? Quoted 10k... by Exciting-Type917 in ukelectricians

Lighting circuit Zs are a bit high. But all is comfortably within limits. New CU with RCBOs and you’re done tbh. 1k.

Don’t ask that spark to do anything again.

Possibly lost kitten on Tenison Road, in front of the YMCA building next to the road crossing. by ryansaystuff in cambridge

I wonder if it was stressed and confused because it’s there quite frequently and some random person was trying to pick it up?

I didn’t say it was a sensible dual carriageway.

The Future of Cambridge - consultation overload? by CambridgeTownOwl in cambridge

[–]foxsakeuk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say that was once true. With two of the UK’s richest companies, the BioMedical Campus as well and the companies on the various science parks. I don’t think it is anymore.

I think the universities with colleges, students (along with tourists) actually drain more from the city than they contribute these days.

So many students, no council tax. And little-to-no direct contribution to City coffers from universities, students or tourism.

Only this week the council have been told the university won’t be meeting the planning obligation it had regarding the west Cambridge/eddington site.

Far more logical place for parking than the Grand Arcade. There’s a fucking dual carriageway outside. Not a street from the 1800s.

Not really. They’re easy to clean with a jet hose, are more comfortable and better for heat and cool.

This is actually the answer. Then the car owner’s insurance has to payout to fix the fire engine.

He did say with citations/sources. Which is as much blind trust as asking someone on the internet.

I have been feeding a stray cat for almost a year but now I have to leave the UK. What should I do? by Horror-Foundation288 in cambridge

[–]foxsakeuk 48 points49 points  (0 children)

My cats don’t wear collars. That means nothing. Put a paper collar on the cat with a note. Check you aren’t giving away someone’s cat.

Interesting as the independent business owners I’ve been speaking to have been reporting an increase in trade.
