I laughed imitally, Then I realised this was actually written seriously.
"but the problem is, he may end up killing or injuring someone else.”....

Please!

There is no hope !!

Well it looks like he's had to back down, though I notice the apology is rather mealy-,outhed.

Just recived a reply from the complaints department of the council stating that Mr Stanton has issued a press release apologizing.

Well it looks like he's had to back down, though I notice the apology is rather mealy-,outhed.

Mealy mouthed is certainly one way of putting it.

Seeing as i am "Concerned " mentioned in the paper and partly my actions by contacting the ctc and the derbyshire councils complaint officer , i hear a lot of talk on here but not a lot of action at times.

This story has just got better. According to CTC cycleclips, the velomobile cyclist that was subject to Cllr Stanton's tirade is registered disabled.
Nice one Cllr Standton!

Here around the cars see me from a long distance and give me a wide berth, maybe Mr Stanton should go here and get an education in road-behavior

Thats him,on the left.

I`ve just noticed that the Burton Mail has reported two local road fatalities inside one week.
Maybe Mr Stanton on the Safer Neighborhoods group can pull his finger out , stop blaming harmless minorities and stop talking sh**e.

Standards Committee at the time of the incident and for a while following it. Sign of expectaions on the council?
