‘Final Mile’ trikes can make difference

ever shouldn’t the land be put up for sale to the highest bidder?

I hope in this case the council will not develop and leave the land to nature.

These issues must become transparent if we are not to see the ecological emergency which this council has signed up to brushed under the carpet.

Perhaps “Banes” should look at Bristol to see how they are dealing with the “emergency”.

You must keep “politics” out of saving the Environment and I look to each and every councillor of all pollical persuasions to stand up for what they believe in, in voting for both a climate emergency and an ecological emergency they must act now to save this precious site.

Remember, we have already lost nearly 70 per cent of the wildlife since the 1970s. The clock is ticking and soon it will be too late. this government’s threat of a disastrous no deal is taken off the table”, Jacob Rees Mogg, one of our BANES MPS, stated “…the Prime Minster has got a deal. No deal is off the table”.

Well it clearly isn’t and Bojo, unelected Cummings and JRM are doing their best to intimidate the EU and the USA who worry about the Irish situation.

Sadly too they have surrendered principles of liberty. China has reneged on the 50-year deal to protect Hong Kong citizens in a transition period.

I can even remember one of their officials at the time of the handover saying they did not want Hong Kong to become a democracy while under UK rule because they wanted democracy to be a gift they gave the people.

They clearly, under Xi Jinping have no desire for any form of democracy since he is now president for life and they are clamping down on protesters in Hong Kong as they did in the Tiananmen Square protests.

But now that Boris has decided he can renege on the deal with the EU over the borderless Irish solution hammered out in the late 1990s, China can just call any protests by the UK government utter hypocrisy.

Bojo is ruining the image of the UK as a beacon of parliamentary democracy. It has been said he declared he wanted to be King of the World in his youth. Sounds like he is closer to Xi Jinping than Churchill as a leader.

I was very interested to read in your letters pages today comments by Robin Rea regarding the delivery of online shopping and Mike Fear regarding Bath never becoming a cycle-friendly city.

I would like to agree with Robin’s comments that online shopping does increase the numbers of diesel vans delivering in the around the local area creating more pollution and congestion and that we should all try to buy locally.

I am pleased to say that WEGO Couriers have recently set up a local, zero emission, cargo bike delivery service to help with both these subjects.

WEGO is now over 21 years old and has established a small parcel consolidation site on the London

Road, near Morrisons.

We are now encouraging online parcel delivery companies to work with us so that we can consolidate deliveries from diesel vans onto cargo trikes for the ‘Final Mile’ in and around Bath.

We are also linking up with local retailers and carrying out a WEGO_ Local home delivery service, thus supporting people to buy locally.

In response to Mike Fear’s comments, I would like to support the use of bicycles in Bath.

Yes, the topography of the city does not make cycling up the hills attractive but there are now a growing selection of electric assist bikes appearing on the market which should allow people in Bath the
