Cllr Crawford admiring the new EV chargers on Springfield Ave in our ward. Very few houses have driveways in our ward so this creates another incentive for people to switch to EVs, discouraging people from getting rid of front gardens.

Excellent fact finding trip to Nottingham to see how they have improved their transport and public realm. inspiring to learn about how their workplace parking levy has funded an extra tram route, hoe they’ve laid on more buses and improved active travel. Also got to go on Vicky McClure’s tram! 🚈

So, added to @scottishgreens.org membership total, this means that the Green parties of Britain now have more members that the Conservative Party (using their declared membership numbers).
An incredible political shift is happening. Be part of it

This is so good. Of course there are some people who vote reform who are entrenched in right wing ideology however there are also a lot who have just been sold a lie, just like Brexit. These conversations are so important.

Steve Smith, a man who was so offended he only got one bean in his can of Heinz that it made international news, being oblivious to why Councillors might be offended by transphobic hate speech directly affecting their colleagues, and wanting to take a stand. www.foxnews.com/food-drink/m...

Nowt plastic about our Zack.
The Prime Minister can call me names - “plastic progressive”? (Nope, me neither!)
Meanwhile, I’m travelling across England and Wales, meeting people fired up and ready for change.
We’re going to turn this country around – and no one gets left behind.

An ugly show of transphobia in public forum this evening, spoiling what was otherwise a pretty constructive and collegiate full council. Trans and non-binary members of the council, and any trans non-binary members of the public who attend should not be subjected to such transphobic rhetoric.

How can anyone be mad at this? is a little cut through road line with parked cars really better? I spoke to the coffee shop last week and they said their trade had doubled.

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

On the coach now heading back to Bristol from a day trip to Birmingham. Intrigued to find the city centre there largely paved over for full pedestrian use, and that they had tram services running there also. Result: no traffic congestion there AT ALL! ✨ Just wonderful! 😊

So The week before far right protests are planned in cities across the UK. The Labour Party decide to ramp up their anti/immigration rhetoric. No mention of protecting vulnerable Asylum seekers under threat from protesters. Just stoking division and cosplaying Reform. Slow handclap.

🇫🇷 The city once famed for insufferable traffic (Paris) is now the most cycling-friendly city in Europe!
We need to invest in making our cities & roads safer for cyclists.
Going to school by bike is much nicer than driving there no, don’t you think?
