    That's what I thought and is what the press has focused on, but after I read brownbagtiger's post I checked and it isn't what the legislation says. The land requisition is for "any activity that forms part of, or is incidental to, functions required to be carried out by or on behalf of a border department in connection with vehicles (in particular goods vehicles) and goods entering or exiting, or that are about to enter or exit, Great Britain"

    I agree that congestion is more likely to be outbound than inbound and so this may be a just in case provision, but it's definitely there.

    It's the official name of the new bridge at the Marina.

    If there is an award for worst names for bridges that will be a contender. Though of course the HDM will soon be calling it the iconic Murdoch's Connection.

    It will remain ‘the headscarf’ to me, although I acknowledge that it’s already called Sid more generally.

    I didn't realise there was going to be a big new seating area in front of the Marina...

    No they kept that quiet, it's a bonus, should name it 'Bilocca Terrace' to make up for the appalling bridge name.

    Are the council planning to keep the crossing and traffic lights next to Ask? I still find it crazy that it will be quicker to cross via the crossing than it will be to go over the bridge!?!

    Really looks good with the new terracing, I just hope it isn't a magnet for the graphitises.
