The cycle lane across the Primrose Hill railway bridge is fully open again.
There may be some future hassles when the old station is dealt with, but that's likely to be a long way in the future.

What fresh hell is this - the recently completed, but not yet open stepped cycle track on Haverstock Hill being used for car parking.
@camdencouncil.bsky.social (@adamdkharrison.bsky.social) may need to enforce this on Sundays when there are events at the school.

Zelensky is right... Without security, they might as well continue fighting. Because it only means Russia will not be held to account, as they are permitted to go without now.

This has excellent lists of what changes can be done to make main roads in cities much better.
We don’t just want more and better LTNs, we want Hackney main roads to change. 10% of Hackney residents live on main roads, and we want those people to feel the benefit too.
Here’s how main roads should be changed in Hackney:

Those endless articles are very odd.
On a decidedly wintery day I'm currently in my warm house, with an electric heater on, *being paid* by my energy company due to renewables.
Not paying for any oil/gas energy might be what they are upset about.
