This is incredible. UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

Truth in advertising.

We have got to stop making this worse…pronto!!

Obstructive Parking forces Bus Rerouting… Buses are being re-routed from two residential streets in St.Marychurch. The press have reported it like this: But we see it a different way... The electric buses may be slightly bigger (we haven't been able to get a straight answer on that). What has…

So sad to have to restart this blog already. In 2025 6 people were killed on the roads of Torbay, all of them vulnerable road users (travelling on foot, by cycle or motorcycle). We believe that a safe systems approach could eliminate road deaths and reduce injuries.

Such great news! Let the paint flow!

How to enjoy the Bay of Lights this year! “Pay for an hour, stay for the day.” Torbay Council originally pitched this as something that would help everyone “enjoy all that Torquay, Paignton and Brixham town centres have to offer.”I am really pleased to see that wording quietly updated, because the…

New study from Melbourne finds reducing residential speed limits from 50km/h to 30 km/h on local roads would protect cyclists from danger, make riding less stressful and get more people cycling while not causing traffic delays for cars.

BBC News - Most residents support 20mph zones, report says www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s just possible that the Labour voices who urged Khan to ditch Ulez expansion after the Uxbridge by-election were not, after all, strategic geniuses.

Union Square Redevelopment We have spoke in objection of this redevelopment on the basis that it was originally billed as a 'car-free' development but even with anticipated huge modal shifts, 40% of journeys will still be undertaken by private vehicle. Torbay Council Officer's did not recommend…

Sadly, when people vote in climate change deniers pseudo science is given power.

If ever you wondered what you would have behaved like in 1930s Germany, what you behave like today will tell you. Choose to oppose Nazis. Choose to oppose hate. There's no middle ground here.

Brixham Regeneration We were extremely concerned to see the 'options' offered to Brixham Town Council in early September 2025. A choice of 3 different multi-storey car parks were offered, all significantly increasing the number of car parking spaces in the Central Car Park Brixham Town Council…

This is amazing!

Walking rates are up, according to today's National Travel Survey data - but the government is failing to meet the target of 55% primary school children walking to school. The problem? Streets are not safe for walking.

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage. Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants. Don't fall for it.

As someone in his early 40s who NEVER wanted to or expected to be a parent to a human child, I have to admit something that has been on my mind lately... I noticed a lot of my attitude shifted when I started to think about all the Dutch 🇳🇱 cycling moments I could have with her (yes, a girl). 1/

The evolution of Cycleway 17 in Dulwich Village. Before, temporary scheme and the final version including Sustainable Drainage System & planting and a new space for cafes & local businesses.

What if … ?

Very good Larry Elliott column which eloquently makes two undeniable points: - Freezing fuel duty has been vastly expensive and disproportionately benefits the rich. - We really need to start talking about road pricing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Paignton’s First-Ever Kidical Mass Because the Kids Are All Right (and on Bikes!)

This is an incredible transformation by the church I got married in 8 years ago. Such a nicer setting! Keep going with the revolution!

“Collisions along roads that have changed from 30mph to 20mph decreased by 19% from 2023-2024, and 100 fewer people a year have been killed or badly hurt in road [collisions], according to Welsh government figures.” “What is an acceptable death toll that justifies getting to work 2 minutes faster?”

Everyone needs access to trees and green space. Not just those who live in the countryside, or who have a car and can drive there. Not just those who can afford to live on leafy avenues with big gardens. Street trees and parks in urban areas are absolutely essential - and will become even more so.
