Number 1 on this list had to be the seminal Nordic Noir cross-country crime drama,
The Bridge. Created by Måns Mårlind, Björn Stein and Hans Rosenfeldt the series begins when a woman is found murdered in the middle of the Øresund Bridge – right on the border between Sweden and Denmark. The Swedish and Danish police are called to the scene. What at first looks like one murder, turns out to be two. The bodies have been brutally cut in half at the waist and put together to form a single corpse. This spectacular double murder is just the beginning of a wave of violence the like of which no one has ever seen before. The Swedish and Danish police find themselves in a race against the clock in a deadly showdown with a superior enemy, where no one will be the same when it’s over.
District council leader Cllr Chris White added: There is growing evidence that speed limits in towns, especially residential areas, are too high and it is something that residents write to me about frequently. I would like to see the county council adopt the approach in the motion wholeheartedly so that the norm becomes 20mph rather than 30mph. That will reduce casualties, make people feel safer and increase the numbers of people prepared to walk or cycle.
Meanwhile, the county council is consulting on its Active Travel Fund initiative, a £6.4m government grant to create safer, easier to use spaces for pedestrians and cyclists in a bid to improve health, air quality, road safety, the local economy and traffic congestion.
