Burnage vs Not Burnage
Yesterday and today. Dear @ManCityCouncil please educate your staff about the benefits of biodiversity! The geraniums, nettles and other wildflowers growing in the "wild" area of our community garden were starting to flourish, until your staff razed them to the ground today.😠

This car moves so infrequently that it has developed its own wildflower garden 👀
The new parking spaces in the former pedestrian area of Stockport are coming along nicely. All this is part of Stockports ongoing PARC campaign (Pedestrian areas reallocated to car). One of @StockportMBC most successful projects. They've even resufaced just for the drivers!
Global warming-induced food shortages and inflation. It's not the 'cost of net zero' you need to be worrying about, it's the cost of not getting to net zero. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Here's the reality. Too many cars, and too many drivers who are happy to park their cars regardless of sense or safety. x.com/s4plb/status/1…

Anti-cyclist posts (& anti Active Neighbourhood/filters) on local social media had been increasing in recent months. This is the next phase of such hostility towards people who cycle. This is not normal, yet anti-cyclist sentiment continues to be tolerated & not treated seriously

Grim. Just picked these up from fallowfield loop. Spread all over. Luckily I missed them with the little one. But all ages enjoying this morning. Sad.

The danger presented to pedestrians (and cyclists) by motor vehicles is so much greater than that by cyclists. Let’s focus on that.
Just a reminder that if you were to carelessly kill a pedestrian when you are on a bicycle you will go to prison, as Charlie Alliston did. If you do so in a motor vehicle you (almost certainly) will not.

Mostly home educated, I enrolled in school as a teenager and was appalled at the bulling in single sex toilets. I know I'm not the only one who used to "hold it in" as long as possible to avoid using the loos in school. Individual gender neutral loos are infinitely safer.
Single-sex toilets are set to become a legal requirement for all new bars, restaurants, offices and shopping centres under new laws proposed by the government trib.al/2d2UvUZ

Great to see @AndyBurnhamGM pick up my line from a recent column that trying to solve the housing crisis without suspending Right to Buy first is "like trying to run a bath with the plug out". Here's the original piece: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
