I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

An essential read on disability & travel. Finds:
“The most commonly mentioned barriers are pedestrian infrastructure, particularly non-existent, narrow, or uneven pavements, while wide, good quality pavements with benches ease travel to local destinations and public transport stops.”

Need item about car parking charges and town centres. They don’t seem to know that the evidence shows that pedestrians & those travelling by cycle and public transport spend more than car users (less per trip but more trips).

One reason I think it’s important to continue to highlight the disparity on our streets is that most people just don’t see it.
Despite it being obvious to some, so many people don't have clarity because we have done such an incredible job of normalizing this imbalance.
