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.

Interesting read of the comments, if like me you are wondering what this can possibly mean.

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.

No Devon this morning as the cloud cover was too thick, beautiful mild morning though.

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” 👀🫠)

Running late this morning but did discover how close my temporary airbnb house is to a beach sauna 😍 No Devon on the horizon today as too cloudy.

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 🤣 )

Different beach today, Devon felt further away today with the tide so far out.

A new feature for London-based clients of our FixMyStreet Pro solution, enabling better access to data on reports of abandoned hire bikes & e-scooters.

We're keen to replicate this in other locations where similar schemes are in place if the appetite is there.
