For a century people being endangered on our roads have been told they are the problem. This from 1927.

I have been banging my head against this wall with consumers, land managers and elected officials for over half a decade.

"The single most important behaviour, design or regulation for creating streets conducive to walking and cycling, was physical separation between the modes" We've got a new study out, learning from a broad mixture of street users, planners and designers www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

An article in the Financial Times argued that Britain should “fall in love with cars again” and invest in more motorways. Here’s why the economic argument is flawed and why we should not. open.substack.com/pub/pinecono...

If you see a post from a 1-person micro business (even if only a sideline business) give them at least a repost? Those people are working hard to make a success, and usually have FAR higher ethical values than corporations. How hard is it for you to do a repost?

Do you know what? It IS working. It hasn't caused tailbacks, quite the opposite actually. More importantly it's saved the lives of at least a dozen kids. Reform are actually campaigning for the return of more deaths and injuries. Absolutely bonkers.

Plug-in hybrids pollute almost as much as petrol cars 🫠

500 employers fined £10m for failing to pay the national minimum wage. 42,000 workers repaid more than £6m. Roll of exploitation includes Holland & Barrett, Centrica, Adecco, Avis, Euro Garages, Genting Casinos, Go Outdoors, Mitchells & Butlers. Some have a history. None forgot to pay execs.

‘Lack of investment in grid capacity putting strain on Netherlands electricity grid, but don’t worry because the Dutch are investing at least €200 billion in resolving the issue.’ There @BBCNews; fixed your misleading headline for you…👍 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Big news for beavers in Wales 🦫 We’re thrilled the Welsh government has legally recognised beavers as a native species requiring protection. This is a huge step forward in ensuring beavers — and the incredible ecosystem services they provide — are re-established in Wales. 🧵1/3

Here is the progress on my latest commission. This cross is for the church in Llantrisant in oak salvaged from the church's bell tower which is undergoing refurbishment. The rays will be gilt with 24K gold and Oak will be fitted in between them.

Forgot one: “Demand that your local leaders build complete networks of sidewalks and protected bike lanes.”

It's Saturday - so why not get yourself up the Workers to indulge your inner art lover! www.workersgallery.co.uk/whatsonvisit

2 years of default urban/village 20mph in Wales has resulted in over 1,000 fewer killed or injured. The data shows a 25% reduction in casualties on the 20/30mph roads. Drivers gain with damage risk, crashes and premiums down. Well done Wales. bit.ly/4ppl030

From the new Private Eye, out now.

Huge thank you to Gayle and Chris of @workersgallery.bsky.social for hosting the Outsiders touring exhibition over the summer and for taking the work out to people who wouldn’t normally engage with an exhibition like this via the gallery in a box. That’s what real community engagement looks like.

Seconded. Their Art in a Box events are so valuable. 👏

GALLERY NEWS! See you Friday 5th September 6.45-8.45pm for the launch of not 1 but 2 new exhibitions: From The Trees by @masterwoodchip.bsky.social & From The Needle by @helyg.bsky.social Chris will reflect on his 1 month long residency adventure at Welcome To Our Woods, Treherbert.

Thanks to all who visited Outsiders by @marcdavenant.bsky.social at the gallery & who requested/saw the boxed version at events. We'll be continuing to share the work with local community groups & those unable to reach the gallery & their carers. www.workersgallery.co.uk/whatsonvisit
