The £11k cap was already too low for it to be useful for 20mph speed limits. Even using it for a 3.5T weight limit (which is cheaper to advertise and less vulnerable to objections burning through the money) to discourage port traffic through a residential area during congestion required two councillors to pool their funds for the same year.

Obesity is not just personal decisions


for !KLWNBUG General Chat


Olivia Palmer argues 'obesity' is a word that gets in the way of public health policy:

'The real barriers [to good health] are a food system engineered for overconsumption, a built environment designed for sedentary living, a commercial ecosystem that profits from both the problem & the proposed solution, and a political economy that makes structural reform expensive and individual blame cheap'.

Rather 'obesity' policy still focusses on blaming individuals!
