  HAVING no personal interest in the Lendal Bridge saga, except a notion that restrictions will probably create more congestion across the city, I am disturbed by the behaviour of councillors James Alexander, Dave Merrett and Tracey Simpson-Laing who are largely behind the bridge restrictions and are already making public statements as to how this measure will be of great benefit to all.

  I HAVE just run my first fun run, the “R U taking the P” male-only run, raising money for prostate cancer research. May I say a tremendous thank-you to the organisers, the marshals and the public who cheered us all the way round, and of course my fellow runners, joggers and walkers who raised so much money.
