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.

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

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?]

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

[LeatherTrumpet]

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

[Cherie]

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

[Oliver_W]

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