A non London English city finally does a congestion charge of reasonable coverage. Still not a fan of the 100 days per year exemptions though. Needlessly complicated and not sure the distributional impact is great.

Which raises the question of whether this is leadership incompetence in the police to deprioritise addressing crimes with actual victims in favour of mostly old people sat with sign*, or a breakdown in their claimed operational independence. *and Streisand effecting the whole matter in the process

Obviously they just need to talk about immigration more 🙄

Because daft regulatory reasons the option for farside signals is included in the toucan regs but not the puffin ones. If you want a farside puffin (which you should, because nearside are an abomination) it goes by the rather more more boringly name of 'Pedex'.

Guess this absolute gem got buried by the subsequent farage stuff. Just embarrassing, never had much hope about this government but expected some basic competence.

Perhaps a social media limit instead for SpAds so they get out a bit more?

If there's a political attack angle here it's surely on a compassionate line but no, tory leadership jumps down a conspiracy hole instead. The whole workplace obviously still a toxic mess.

A rare politician who actually understands this and is willing to say and act on it.

Not entirely sure why my idle youtube procrastination is getting interrupted by Israeli propaganda for their warmongering. 🙄

Good to see this issue finally seems to be getting some reasonable attention, pity it's about 10 years after the horse left the stable. 😬

Another one for my 'EuroNCAP pedestrian score is not fit for purpose' grumble...

Well that was predictable. 🙄 No doubt the dwindling number of galaxy brain starter/mcsweeney loyalists will be insisting that this is the right thing to do.

There's parliamentary time for pointless laws on death by cycling but not apparently for sorting out any of the voting systems. Perhaps labour will change their tune on this once FPTP starts biting them?

Buys higher end beans for £60+ per kilo. Then puts them through a fairly 'meh' grinder and drowns the output in milk and syrup. 🤦‍♂️ Fresh roasted coffee can be found for a quarter of that price, or less, doubt the difference would be noticed. inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...

TPT regularly shows motonormativity in its rulings, needs some serious reform. The urban realm is diminished with endless bright yellow sign backings and patches of near luminous red tarmac due to its rulings. Things that don't actually make a difference as the drivers simply aren't looking.

Figuring at this point trump and co's performance the whole week was just a set up to today's attempt to humiliate Zelenskyy. The apparent success of the Macron & Starmer visits and his demeanour during them was just for contrast to today.

"Of the main changes proposed: 59 per cent of people agreed with pedestrianising Horsefair and Penn Street." etc... Really need engagement people to stop treating consultation responses as representative samples🤦‍♂️ '59% of respondents' would be at least better news.bristol.gov.uk/press-releas...

Should have stayed walk/cycle only after the repairs were completed. That it reopened appeared to be a product of the futile pro car policies Rees tried to follow, particularly in his first term.

Oxfordshire labour clearly decided to go for the 'motorist vote'. Sceptical how much they'll get from it. Still, this is obviously crackers. The road in question already allocates the bulk of space/priority to drivers and the proposed Didcot garden town delivery scheme includes road widening!
