BK brighter days ahead May 2021 5:21pm, 12 May 2021 936 posts	Quote Pin BK brighter days ahead Richard - probably a HQ admin issue given that they were calling Valentines Ilford for a few days.
option_Richard May 2021 5:36pm, 12 May 2021 206 posts	Quote Pin option_Richard That's a naming mistake, it was still on the list. Both these are the same LA, & have been removed. Neighbouring Southwark has only got 1 of their 3(?) so far.

Ours requires permission from 4 different enterprises and only has 2 so far but there will be additional issues for us due to major building work and re-routing.

LazyDaisy May 2021 7:06pm, 12 May 2021 33,393 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy Exeter Riverside has just posted on FB that the University has withdrawn permission to use their rugby pitch fields To be honest it was another parkrun that became a bit too popular for its own good anyway - the out-and-back stretch shared with a busy cycle path was a bit of a nightmare with hundreds of runners. I hope they can find an alternative route.
