Is it green? Check.

Local civil servants.

There are 4 people in the UK with that name. One of them in Oldham! Linky

"Wayne Ankers, 34, from Shaw, regularly cycles and runs along Broad Lane."

I don't believe it.

Granted I can see the upside of it because an agent would never forget your name but wouldn't change your name by deed poll.

I'm sure I saw a bus lane in East London that was shorter than the length of a bus

(a single bus too, not one of those bendy monstrosities!)

It should be legal to cycle on pavement unless there are lots of people on it.
