The Shell garage

Following reports that they were selling everything off at the Shell garage in Vale Road I can confirm that there's a big sign in the window reading "No Unleaded". One at the entrance would have been more useful, but nevertheless it seems that preparations are under way for the new sheltered accommodation to be built. You know, the one with fewer car-parking spaces then apartments when visitors would be expected to use the free Vale Park car-park; the subject that prodded talk of building a pedestrian crossing between the two.

[Update - the "No Unleaded" sign was joined by another yesterday "Now Closed"]

Oh a similar subject I hung my head in disgust this morning watching two cyclists, a young women and child, on foot next to said car-park trying to cross all three lanes. The disgust was prompted by the fact that having done so they then hopped onto their bikes and road along the pavement up towards Minster Road where all the road crossings are situated. I swear at times I despair for our species.
