I have, in fact, seen a dog doing a handstand.

Fingers crossed for good outcomes certainly.

Quite possibly some! But maybe quite a bit of residents’ access or even commuters parking outside the Overground?

An extra, underappreciated element of these plans: banning turns from Q’bridge onto Albion Drive/Square and Scriven Street would send loads more vehicular traffic (>3000 per day according to the consultation) along Middleton Road instead.

A rare cycling success story is seriously at risk here!

Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.

We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.

2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
