Firstly, as anyone that&#8217;s ever seen Watership Down will tell you, rabbits don&#8217;t like motor vehicular transport. Whilst \u00a0the free flow of traffic is our primary concern we also recognise that we shouldn&#8217;t subject bunnies to their most persistent nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also learnt that shops just aren&#8217;t wide enough to let most traffic through. In fact you can&#8217;t really get much more than the odd cyclist \u00a0through Weird &#8216;N Wonderful. It also turns out that the bloke from Weird &#8216;N Wonderful has got a very low tolerance of cyclists. With hindsight parading an early morning convoy of sweaty lycra in front of him was likely to kick up a shit storm.<\/p>\n<p>In future we will look at alternative routes for diversions. We are considering using Woodbridge Road which does have the advantage of being a road and a very low rabbit population.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It seems that this is a lesson well learned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday angry residents called on Moseley Traffic Chiefs to explain the surreal decision to redirect traffic from the Alcester Road through a local pet shop.
