Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Milton Keynes Selected for New UK Robotics Hub — Bringing More Delivery Robots, Autonomous Vehicles and Drones to the City

One of the more interesting hubs will operate in Milton Keynes, a city already known for deploying autonomous delivery robots and experimenting with new mobility technologies.

Led by Smart City MK CIC, the Milton Keynes Robotics Adoption Hub will operate from the Smart City Experience Centre inside centre, a major shopping destination. Its partners include Milton Keynes City Council, Cranfield University, The Open University, Ohmio UK and several other organizations.

Unlike hubs concentrating on manufacturing or agriculture, Milton Keynes will focus on robotics operating in public and shared spaces. That includes autonomous vehicles, delivery robots, drones and other systems that must interact with people, infrastructure and existing transportation networks.

The initiative builds on the city's work developing ROBOPASS, a licensing framework intended to strengthen governance around robotic deployments.

Hybrid bike front suspension necessary?

Hi there,

I've been using the lime bikes but am looking to get my own bike now. I've noticed some of the redways are extremely bumpy and can't decide whether to get a hybrid bike with front suspension or not. I am based on the west side and will be using it to get around town every other day. I'm planning to get a suspension seat post, but should I also get front suspension or it won't really do much compared to a rigid frame here?

Thanks.

Are there any parks in Milton Keynes that are fenced or closed off and dogs are allowed to be off lead?

I don't mean a paid location like the one in deanshanger or other...I mean somewhere I can take my dog and let her off lead to run around with other dogs.

No kids, no vulnerable adults etc...

I know there are lots of places that people let their dogs off lead although officially they shouldn't...I mean explicitly allowed.
