Petition to call it White Bitch Lane

Or Black Bitch lane if you want to go down that route

At least nobody would be offended and throw a tantrum if it was.

No, it has already a Poet's name
but a long year to wait for it.

I didn't even know there was a road called this.

I know Friday night dinner joked about a pub being called something similar.

I've tried to take a photo of that sign to post on tibb before, it made me laugh at all the huballoo about the statues.

My phone, and my working it capabilities probably saved me a banning.

What's Spurs got to do with anything?:hehe:

I actually don't mind Spurs before any of their fans lynch me.:laugh:

Good name changes for this could either be Incel Avenue or Feminazi Street.

Both ideologies are so En Vogue at the moment.

[81% of Black Boy Lane residents were not
in favour of changing the name.
According to the minutes,
no residents attended the
public consultation meeting nor the online meeting.

They even left the
old "offensive" name on the sign

Good use of £189,000?]



Emily Carver Stated

I really dont get the ‘formally’ inclusion :laugh:

by adding the formerly part they have completely undone the reason for changing it, unless its a short term interim sign

:laugh2:

you could not make it up

How does a street sign cost £187,000 is there a breakdown of how that money was spent?

No doubt there will be a big row about that now :joker:

Two Council Workers
are not cheap.

Setting it in Concrete


Long Consultations - cost Money.

Waterproof Sign
not cheap

The workers labour and the concrete wouldn't even come to £500.

No Prices have gone up


But the Consultations
with Council Members would be the big costings

classic example of wasting money and prioritising completely the wrong things by thick council employee jobsworths

They are more than likely self employed contractors

187,000 how much do you think they would be paid :joker:

Where is the link to say it cost 187,000 Arista I cant find it online

Remember that councilors like to give themselves (and their mates) overly inflated pay packets for nothing.

Emily Carver Tweeted that.

now at £189,000

In Stirling in Scotland they have A Black Boy monument and its a famous local landmark
It commemorates the Black Death, which came to Stirling in 1369 and killed a third of the population.
