Hi Daisily,

…doesn’t affect animals but kills their owners

Really

That can’t be legal!

If you want to hear one, walk through Halton Way cul de sac. There’s a pet one in someones garden that doesn’t affect animals but kills their owners.
Clearly trying to stop animals going on their garden, but is it really necessary?

May I take this oppurtunity on behalf of “Gloucestershire Tri-Emergency Services” to thank bgidley for the referral to the most up-to-date map of Kingsway that certainly Police and Ambulance have been priviledged to

This hopefully will go on to to help responders with Patient care in Kingsway until Google do the mappy thing, as this is what the emergency services use

Oh if I wasn’t laughing I’d cry

Re: The Mosquito in Aldi car park, that explains why I never see any gatherings there so it proves it works guys!

Franco,

Nice post

Hope you hear back from NCP, that would be interesting
I will research it myself too (if I can find the time)!

As for the maps, I actually spotted the google street view van driving round here a few weeks ago. I don’t think it will be too long before they start uploading the images. They seem to be increasing their coverage of the non-major cities in the UK and they will probably all pop up at once in a few months.

As for the mosquito and torture, I couldn’t agree more. They have one around the Aldi car park. I can’t imagine what its doing to the younger children (those under teens, and especially the under 5s!)

Your hearing deteriorates around the age of 25 and you lose the very top frequencies, which is where the mosquito is based (17kHz) so everyone under 25 suffers.

With regards to the NCP study I mentioned – I sent them an e-mail about it and have received no replies. I’ll try again later I guess when I get round to it. There are a LOT of studies about reducing youth crime and graffiti on the net though. Just google it and there are studies with murals etc so this may help in choosing the right way forward.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for that

It’s not (yet) as comprehensive as Google Maps, although it does have some of the newer roads on it, and – as you say – it’s “editable”, so we could all register and update it

I’ve added it to our Kingsway Village Maps page.
