Council leader's drinking problem

He said Sheffield stands can't be used as drunks use them to lean on and they are looking into a useful replacement. He'll keep me informed of progress...

Well, I don't know if Barnet Council have a rule on this, but you could get in touch with Barnet Cyclists to ask what they think of it and whether they've heard this line before.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no other local authority in London that has a 'rule' against Sheffield stands.

Well done for mentioning it.
