Plymouth City Council has in effect "NOC" ( No Overall Control ) but the governing party are the Conservatives, I presume supported by Independents. No matter who is running Plymouth, this was clearly wrong, and against the wishes of the electorate of the city. "Luke Pollard, the Labour MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport, said: “It’s a scene of environmental devastation and utter council vandalism. I’m appalled at the actions of the Tory council. They have not listened to local people.” So YET AGAIN you have not read the links I provided. This decistion for this pure vandalsm was taken when LABOUR were the leader of plymouth council and that was overturned by the Tories in November 2022 by advocating that these trees would be replaced like for like if they were to be cut down for no apparent reason. Yet again one of the most iconic and scenic areas in plymouth has been turned into a bloody eyesore. |

Yet more stench from labour... Speaker's fury at Unite the Union rep for breaching parliament rules over strike email Story by David Maddox Britain's biggest union has got embroiled in a row over a breach of data protection rules in the House of Commons in trying to recruit MPs' staff as members to push for a strike. Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle has ordered the data protection officer to "actively pursue" Unite the Union's parliamentary staff representative after she used the Parliament email database without the necessary permission to contact MPs' staff in a bid to recruit new members and organise a strike.

Police raids at 5am, pensioners handcuffed and held for eight hours and false accusations of poisoning tea: GUY ADAMS investigates the devastating impact of Labour-run Sheffield council's totally nonsensical axing of thousands of trees Sheffield City Council abandoned the plan in 2018, with 5,600 trees removed The council spent £300,000 trying to stop local demonstrations against the plan.
Police raids at 5am, pensioners handcuffed and held for eight hours and false accusations of poisoning tea: GUY ADAMS investigates the devastating impact of Labour-run Sheffield council's totally nonsensical axing of thousands of trees
Sheffield City Council abandoned the plan in 2018, with 5,600 trees removed
The council spent £300,000 trying to stop local demonstrations against the plan
Residents who failed to comply were swiftly punished: within minutes, around ten vehicles were loaded
on to lorries and towed away, past road blocks that now prevented access to either end of the street
The date was November 17, 2016. And the events unfolding on Rustlings Road, a residential street in south-west Sheffield, would dramatically escalate a hugely bitter dispute, turning the Yorkshire city — or rather, its Labour-run council — into a globally recognised symbol of incompetence, mendacity and tin-pot authoritarianism.
By the time Sheffield council came to its senses in March 2018, and abandoned the scheme,
around 5,600 trees had been removed, at a cost of tens of millions of pounds, while their
administration had become a global laughing stock. Pictured: After
Just shows us that the Mail and its indoctrinated adherents are stumped for identifying real news... |

Ridiculous cost to fix all potholes revealed as backlog soars 24%
The backlog of repairs on pothole-plagued local roads in England and Wales has soared by almost a quarter in 12 months due to a lack of long-term investment, according to a new report. A survey of councils by the Asphalt Industry Alliance (AIA) suggested it would cost £12.64 billion to return local roads to a condition from which cost-effective maintenance would be possible.
This is up from £10.24 billion one year ago. The AIA’s annual local authority road maintenance (Alarm) survey indicated that the proportion of council budgets allocated to highway maintenance has fallen during the 2021/22 financial year compared with the previous 12 months.
The proportion has fallen from 5.5% to 5.1% in England (excluding London), from 2.0% to 1.6% in London, and from 4.5% to 3.0% in Wales. Almost one in five local roads could need to be rebuilt in the next five years due to their condition, which is nearly 37,000 miles of road.
The Alarm survey also suggested that local roads are typically resurfaced only once every 70 years. AIA chairman Rick Green said: “The link between continued underinvestment and the ongoing structural decline and below par surface conditions of our local roads is clear.
“The country’s ambitions to encourage active travel, plus cutting waste and carbon emissions, will not be achieved with a short-term approach that can’t deliver a first-rate local road network.” He added: “Local authority highway teams have a legal responsibility to keep our roads safe, but do not have the funds to do so in a cost-effective, proactive way.”

And a legitimate response to that is to cite the Tory cancer that is actually running the country. Grow up FFS....Note how the labour scum have pissed on the residents of Plymouth LAST NIGHT...
Plymouth reacts as 'monsters in the night' fell trees on Armada Way
Plymouth City Council branded 'monsters in the night' as work on the development begins under the cover of darkness
Work has begun on cutting down trees on Armada Way in Plymouth. It comes as protesters have come out in force to try and stop the work.
Work on the £12.7m regeneration was due to start this spring after being put on hold in November 2022 due to the ongoing row over tree removal. Plymouth City Council carried out a “meaningful community engagement” on the plan in February and no trees had been removed.
But on Tuesday evening, Plymouth City Council leader Cllr Richard Bingley signed off a decision notice for the scheme to go ahead. The plans mean that more trees than initially planned would be saved - but many would still be cut down.
A Plymouth City Council statement said: "The Armada Way project will restart – but with more trees and further changes to the design. An executive decision has been signed today giving the go-ahead to the scheme with the final design to include 169 semi-mature new trees, a revised tree planting schedule and a commitment to investigate wider tree planting in the city centre.
"This means an additional 19 semi-mature trees, including more evergreen and wider canopy trees as well as keeping another existing tree. The amendments follow from the engagement programme held to ensure people had a chance to make final comments before the scheme got underway."
You blame so called Labour scum for that sneaky shit when you know full well that the Tories are running Plymouth City Council at the moment. And you tell me to grow up! Grow up yourself, you fucking clueless clown |

The reason they make sure that happens is so they can blame the Tories, 'look how bad things are, it's the nasty Tory party'.
It's not rocket science that Labour run councils DON'T want everyone to be happy, plenty of money knocking around, no cuts, everyone is happy ........... Don't be fuckin dim, if Labour Councils did that, it would make the Tories look good, and no one would want to vote Labour, that's why Labour must run down every Labour run Council, it's ALL political and the people are the victims and pawns in their stupid game.

Conspiracy theorist rubbish. How much money is it costing Plymouth City Council to rip down trees no one wants ripped down? Even if Labour first came up with the idea its the Tories doing it. |

So you think it's not more than a coincidence that Tory run councils with the same budgets as Labour run councils are managing to cope without cutting service and raising council taxes?
It's only the Labour run councils and I mean EVERY run Labour council that are crying poverty, cutting services, raising council taxes, and are you really going to make a fool of yourself by saying ... it's just a coincidence the only councils who aren't performing just happen to be the Labour run ones.
Be interesting to see if Labour did win the next GE whether we would all of a sudden see all these cash strapped run down Labour run councils all of a sudden started to perform well now Labour are in power ... yeah ... LOL whatever.

Plymouth is Tory run and is not performing very well either. You are also a fool for not realising that most Tory councils are in power in more affluent areas where there is much less poverty-driven drain on resources. One of the exceptions is Plymouth where Tory councils tend to be even more shit than Labour ones. |

Endless strikes, the small boats crisis and now the Lineker fiasco are proof that anti-Tory groupthink has taken control in Britain BBC News Channel’s bulletin yesterday was devoted to Gary Lineker coverage Alastair Campbell blamed everyone from Tories to the Daily Mail for UK's crises The first half hour of the BBC News Channel’s 10am bulletin yesterday was devoted to an orgy of incestuous wall-to-wall navel gazing over director-general Tim Davie’s craven capitulation to the sainted Gary Lineker. For further considered and balanced analysis, the airwaves were then given over to the corporation’s favourite independent commentator Alastair Campbell, who looked as if he had just crawled out of bed. Only in the warped world of BBC ‘impartiality’ would a discredited former Labour propagandist be deemed a fit and proper person to take a dispassionate view of a politically charged meltdown at a publicly funded institution, which began when Match Of The Day host Lineker compared the Conservatives’ policy on illegal migration to Nazi Germany. Over the next 15 minutes, virtually uninterrupted, Campbell went into his celebrated ‘Nutter on the Bus’ routine, blaming everyone from the Tories to the Daily Mail for the crisis which ended with a grovelling apology from the man who is supposed to run the BBC to a rogue presenter who knowingly and deliberately brought the game into disrepute. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11855843/Strikes-small-boats-Lineker-fiasco-Proof-anti-Tory-groupthink-taken-control-Britain.htmlDon't be such a snowflake. |

I don't support the present labour party,but the rancid way some Tory supporters on here rant on about Labour anyone would think Labour was resoponsible for 12 years of Tory carnage on the Country, and the far right lunacy thats took hold of some sections of the population. |
