People Friendly Streets benefit our animals too
Simon Izod, Islington, full address supplied, writes:
Last week as I was walking along the newly implemented People Friendly Streets in Canonbury West, I saw a cat cross a road, which until recently was dominated by motor traffic. I thought about how many cats’ lives have ended unnecessarily early due to the dangerous road conditions they have confronted.
It led me to realise that as someone who has been campaigning for People Friendly Streets, I have had in mind the benefits to human beings and been forgetting the benefits to animals and plants.

With the goal of ensuring that no money from its $12.8 million CARES Act funding be “left on the table,” Lebanon County Commissioners voted unanimously Thursday to spend the remaining balance of just over $600,000.
The vote means more businesses that applied for funding in the first two rounds will now receive financial assistance. The vote also includes several local nonprofit organizations as part of the approved $600,268 expenditure.
The county’s CARES Grant Committee, which consists of county and local economic development officials, agreed to lower the established rating score used in the first two rounds to determine which businesses will get funds. The score was lowered from 45 to 38 for businesses who met the funding criteria, which was still consistent for the funding requirements during the first two rounds.
