Also in our case people started dismantling barricades which were to stop them using the path... Despite services putting bigger and stronger fences after the previous got "open"...

The local community exhausted all lines of inquiry... There are legal issues around the land ownership although all in one way or the other owned by the crown. Now waiting for the structural surveys and predicted cost for fixes grows from initial 30k last year to over a million now.

In a dead end Garw Valley, people are fighting for the cycle path to be reopened as it's the only option for safe travel. The only road is very busy with vanishing pavement. With changes to school transport kids can no longer walk to school safely. How can we approach that as citizens?

Imagine how much time we'd gain if we replaced legacy systems and got rid of doubling or even tripling data collection efforts...

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

Thanks! We were plotting the future of collaboration, communities and working in the open in Wales. And this future is bright! 🤞🏼

A few years ago in Bristol people were furious when the council stopped providing a paper "bin calendar"...
They provided a pdf for printing with a black background 😫
Over time I realised there are so many ways to mess up bin collection day search 😔

I always start with reading Welsh and looking where English starts, but when I see, it's too late. It's quite tricky with longer text about roadworks 🫣
Different colours sound great!

But actually, a question for you @martinjordan.com Regarding people from devolved nations (Wales in my case) sharing this guidance, how you think we could call it to make it clear it's from "central' gov 🤔 not Welsh gov?

You're right, it's my bad naming habit after working for the local gov, trying to differentiate these.

It reminds the old gravestone style. Perhaps the obituary writer got an extra gig in the news section...
