  14. It seems an odd coincidence that lifts get taken out of service at #Basingstoke station each Summer - either their maintenance schedule isn't in sync with increases in people with luggage or bikes, or the lifts can't cope with the heat.

  16. "Campaigners removing lamppost flags in Basingstoke"

    basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/

    "Lower the Flags Basingstoke": "Basingstoke is a culturally diverse town, a welcoming one, a usually peaceful one, but since the flags started being cable-tied to lampposts, a division has been created and for many locals, this isn’t it.

    "We don’t want hate, we don’t want racism, we don’t want a community divided and we don’t want people to feel unsafe in their home town."

  24. @jonpsp I feel your pain, but must admit I filled my car with Diesel in #Basingstoke on Thursday. I have a funeral to attend in London and need the miles next week.

    I checked public transport but it would add four hours to the round trip, mainly because of dodgy bus connections, a single bus once an hour notorious for not running...

    So what am I to do?

    We ain't all devils.

    PS. Car did under 2.5K last year.

  26. Apparently the people of #Basingstoke are not bothered about shortages or cost of #FossilFuels. I have never seen so many petrol/diesel cars on the inter-estate roads leading to the A30 outside of rush hour as there are today. It took several minutes before I could consider crossing the road

  28. @tfnhomes I heard a rumour that the Hounsome Fields development in #Basingstoke was approved by Highways on the basis that the pre-existing congestion on the A30 was so much that people living on the new development would be prevented from joining it during rush hour, so the development would make no difference to traffic volumes. Obviously they didn't bother even starting to build the shared use path to link the development with the rest of Basingstoke until years after people moved in.

  29. the #FlagShaggers are now putting flags on bus stops in #basingstoke next to the ineffectual signs telling motorists not to drive in the bus/taxi/bicycle area
