Hand workers often suffer stigmatising attitudes, immature sniggering and innuendo.

Of course the government should pull this off for them.

Great letter Andrew! Clear, comprehensive, taking no nonsense!

It is great to see how you lay out the positive case for change.

It is great to see leadership like this in politics. Taking a principled and evidence-based stance, then explaining it. More strength to you.

It was nice to say hello briefly!

So glad the sun shone for us all.

Yes, I still play guitar. But it’s bass more often these days, which I love just as much.

I saw Robin recently when the Infinite Monkey Cage came this way with Tim Peak

Best wishes to Martin!

Thank you!

Unfortunately I won’t make it to Edinburgh this year. Hopefully will go back another time

I’m enjoying seeing your art and various music events here on Bluesky

Thanks Anneliese
I hope that the council will listen to local people too. I’m aware of many people who desperately hope for less congestion, safer roads, more efficient buses, and for these reasons I have responded to the council’s consultation with strong support for the plans.

πŸ’¬ β€œThere are so many exemptions it won’t make a difference”

Citizens’ Assembly votes for β€œa car-free city centre” An assembly of Oxfordshire citizens has overwhelmingly supported making the city centre car-free and turning some existing roads over to buses, cyclists and Blue Badge holders. Together with housing ...

Greater cycling access and car free city centres are often presented as β€˜controversial’ by media and politicians.

But approval of such initiatives is often underestimated.

When Oxford residents are informed and consulted, approval rates are high:
