The following letter was sent to us by a Stray Ferret reader about the 36 bus.

Yesterday my 82-year-old wife, and a number of her friends, had to stand on the 36 bus from Hornbeam Park to Ripon whilst all the seats were occupied by representatives of Harrogate youth – children going home from school. Not one of them offered to exchange their place. Someone, please bring back the ‘good old days’!

'Measure twice, cut once'

These comments were left under an article about the council taking a second shot at reconfiguring a junction on West Park in Harrogate.

It’s going to be good once the unwanted gateway gets going on one side and this thing on the other.

So much for “measure twice, cut once”. With NYC it seems to be “measure once, cut twice”! Whatever happened to the concept of getting it right first time?

A camera recording illegal activity would soon put a stop to this. Photo plus fine soon changes driving behaviour.
