Lime and Forest bikes are great. 🚲
But, there are challenges, including around rider safety. 🚦
I asked both companies how they will make their campaigns more visible especially on riders jumping red lights and drunk cycling at last night’s Environment Scrutiny Committee.

This grainy photo from 2011 is the only good one I have from my first big gig, watching the Foo Fighters in Milton Keynes.
Join me in my latest blog, where I look back on this gig and a few other concerts which changed my life.

Raymond James Potts (1935-2025) 💔
On Wednesday, my grandad Ray Potts passed away aged 90. He was a doting grandfather, semi-pro snooker player and keen traveller who I’ll miss so much.
He’s now reunited with my Nan, which brings me comfort. RIP gaffer 💔

Great evening watching Witness for the Prosecution at County Hall 🎭
Fantastic municipal building. Makes me sad the Greater London Council was scrapped in the 1980s.
Weird now to think of London without a Mayor or the GLA. Maybe I’d have worked here for the GLC in another life!

Interesting Environment Scrutiny meeting tonight at the town hall exploring recycling rates and waste reduction ♻️
I asked about reducing contamination, using AI to speed up data processes and how officers expect waste streams to change in the future.
