New bypass in Melton Mowbray named Pork Pie Way after public vote, despite objections seeking for it to be named Vegan Pie Way

Our thanks to Tony for this (6 May) and this (15 May). An extract from the first link:

“Dawn Carr, Peta’s vice-president of corporate projects, said: “Vegan Pie Way would keep the nod to local heritage while swapping out meat, something more people than ever are doing out of concern for animals, the planet, and their own health.

“Peta is encouraging Leicestershire to lead the way with a more compassionate road name that kind tourists everywhere would happily take a detour for.”

The charity said it would cover the cost of the Vegan Pie Way road signs if the council accepted the name.”
