Hackney council wants to stop small streets in Stoke Newington being used as rat runs and encourage motorists to use the A10 and Church Street to traverse the borough. During consultations, the council said the changes would result in only a “minimal” increase of up to six per cent in the number of cars on Church Street outside William Patten primary school.

Fidlar review – hot hooks and smartass koans from dirtbag LA punks
‘There’s a lot of shoes onstage,” says Zac Carper, gesturing to the discarded footwear which, along with shirts and pint pots of beer, has been raining on to the stage since the show began nearly an hour ago. But then self-defeating stupidity is very much a grand theme for Los Angeleno punks Fidlar. Carper may have turned the corner on his heroin addiction a few years ago, but his songs draw on a certain dirtbag lifestyle, pitched between the snotty hedonism of Fight for Your Right-era Beastie Boys and Nirvana’s nihilistic edge – the sound of overmedicated kids with bruised self-esteem and motormouths.
