"the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children"

A handwritten notice in a plastic wallet, stapled to the outside of a bike shed: "Bike Racks Closed From Tuesday 17th Feb Til January 2027"

When the hospital estates team need to close a section of carpark for a weekend, we get multiple all-staff emails informing and reminding us.

When they close a busy secure bike shed with capacity for 100 bikes, that's frequently full, we get this the day before:

£650,000 of a "£ 1 bn scheme" is just 0.065%
Incredible greed.

Let off with more than half a million pounds of Planning gain.

Astounding...

Strange that they painted this pretend cycle lane on a sidewalk when, as local authorities who refuse to contract towing companies have announced, roads, cycle lanes, and sidewalks are all the domain of car owners anyway....

“Toddler dead after pedestrian collision” is some nasty headline work

A person driving a jeep hit and killed a toddler in a stroller in a marked crossing and they are calling it a “pedestrian collision”

@yplac.bsky.social pavement parking ban is it?

What fresh hell is this - the recently completed, but not yet open stepped cycle track on Haverstock Hill being used for car parking.
@camdencouncil.bsky.social (@adamdkharrison.bsky.social) may need to enforce this on Sundays when there are events at the school.

Fresh fears for South West's rail link in Dawlish after storms Taxpayer money has flowed into fixing the rail line connecting Cornwall with the rest of the UK - but the elements have other ideas.

The Dawlish - Teignmouth railway line feels like the absolute front line of climate adaptation in Britain (a test we are not passing so far).

And yet somehow, somehow, this article manages to go in-depth on the problems with the line without mentioning the climate once. The sea is literally higher!

Norfolk businessman escapes driving ban after using mobile phone while at the wheel Daniel Bedwell from Stalham has narrowly escaped a driving ban after he was caught using a mobile phone while driving on Bracondale.

Exceptional hardship defence prevented driving ban. Court weighed impact on him & other employees — but where are the crash victims in that balance? Where does road safety feature? In UK, around 250 people die each year in fatal crashes linked to phone distraction.

Cities should not be parking lots.

The evidence from the 2 years since Wales set a 20mph default for urban/village roads is clear:-
1,270 fewer casualties
134 fewer of them being fatal or serious
£45 pa lower insurance premiums than without 20
These are big wins for communities, NHS, emergency services and economy.

He said the new app included a feature which required users to take a picture to confirm the vehicle was correctly parked. "We need to try and educate people as much as possible on road safety" he said. Georgia Heathman from Bolt said the vehicles must be parked in specific, identified parking bays and the company could act on repeated use. "If we continue to see repetition in poor customer behaviour, we can take measures in terms of suspending access" she said.

New Bolt bikes. Same old issues of being dumped on the footpath.

Thousands caught speeding by A595 Holmrook camera Some drivers have been clocked at almost 90mph in the 30mph zone, figures show.

Speed governors could save these lawbreakers a lot of money.

Labour was built to give workers a voice and fight for a better deal. Workers' are scratching their heads with the lack of delivery over the last 18 months. Labour need to stop being embarrassed about standing up for workers and communities.

I don't want self-driving cars. I want cars with speed governors and doors that won't open when cyclists are approaching.

Drivers who don’t cycle, have you ever planned your route based on safety? Many of us on two wheels priority this every trip.

It might not seem like much to you but it’s everything to us.

Please take others safety seriously. The least you can do is look out for others in the space you use.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you're going to attack somebody, you've got a better chance of a lenient sentence if you do it in a car. A suspended sentence for a what amounted to attempted murder.

How long should it take to cross a junction?
In suburban London it can take a while, like crossing the junction of Christchurch Road and Merantum Way to walk between two neighbouring shopping centres. Is it acceptable to let pedestrians wait this long?
