I love @mysociety.org’s Fix My Street tool. I reported a faulty cycle detector at 14:17 and at 14:22 I got a response from @tfl.gov.uk saying that they’ve investigated, considered it an emergency, and their contractor will deal with it within 24 hours.

Been a tricky piece of work, given the number of special cases added over the years (which we ran a dev day on back in January), but have finally put github.com/mysociety/fi... live this week, which tidies up a variety of messagings and floats the Continue button during reporting

Interesting read of the comments, if like me you are wondering what this can possibly mean.
NEW: Keir Starmer says the government will be abolishing NHS England and NHS will be brought back under direct political control.

Join us for the WhoFundsThem report launch on 4 March: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/whofundsth...
50 volunteers looked through the data on 650 MPs' second jobs, donations & gifts. Now we can say exactly where the system is failing us — and what needs to be done to make it better. Hope to see you there.

Not a bad view on my way to 6th Form Options evening (which I was told categorically “definitely won’t have students at, it’s just parents” 👀🫠)

TfL have apologised to me for the way they, and their outsourced “online brand protection agency”, handled this, and I’m happy to be able to reinstate the bus and tube maps (then I don’t have to reply to any more emails about it 🤣 )
