Can Highland Perthshire cope with 'unprecedented' tourist demand?
Local businesses rely on visitors coming to Dunkeld, but some residents worry the town can no longer cope.

Greenery alongside cycle tracks cuts the risk of flooding by managing stormwater locally, the hedge also makes a nice barrier between bikes and motor vehicles, reducing spray from motor vehicles during rain, as well as improving the look of the street.

Whether youth facilities save the council money is a rubbish way to assess their worth.
Young people need places where they can express and discover interests, make friends and find support.
Their existence is a measure of a civilised society. One that values and actually likes young people.

This is a desperately sad story, one doubtless repeated across the country, but it’s also desperately stupid:
“an independent report … estimated the centre is saving the council more than £500,000 a year in costs that include services in mental health, youth justice and social care”

Last youth centre in one of England’s most deprived coastal areas faces closure
Pie Factory Music in Ramsgate, Kent, runs creative projects and provides a range of support services, but the building that houses the centre is due to be sold off in February

A new UK report shows free bike programmes give £11.80 return for every £1 spent. Over 12,000 bikes provided so far, improving health, mental wellbeing, access to jobs and community ties - especially in disadvantaged areas.

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

All that is to say: no one even remotely sensible in UK politics believes that pay-per-mile driving will not happen before too long.

🔌 Electric Vehicle (EV) drivers who are able to rely on at-home charging have already been benefitting from lower running costs compared to petrol vehicles, but new analysis from The Times now shows that drivers relying solely on public charging are also saving money.

We put a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) to the test under real-world city driving conditions — and the results didn’t match the promises made by manufacturers.
Is it time to admit plug-in hybrids are nearly as bad for the climate as petrol cars?

Cycling is joyous but many women feel left out of our movement. It's time that changed.
