In #Coventry with @edrc-uk.bsky.social people to see the new Very Light Rail. Track built in 4 weeks without needing to disturb utilities under the road due to innovative construction techniques. Could it be the future for mass roll out of trams across the UK?

#ITSLeeds @drianphilips.bsky.social

Does anybody know the UK laws that make it legal to store private property on the public highway if it is a car but illegal if it were a shed? What is the dividing line? Can you park a caravan in the street? If so, can I put wheels on my shed? Could I convert a van into a home office?

Deadline fast approaching (Friday 14th) for this funded PhD opportunity. Please spread the word.
