Today is the 117th consecutive day somewhere in the UK has recorded a temperature of 20°C or higher. The 11th of June was the last time we didn't reach this threshold. Fresher air comes in on Wednesday allowing temperatures to fall, and likely to stay just below 20°C.

This morning a driver crashed onto the sidewalk exactly where my kids walk past on the way to school. This happened shortly before they came along. I have asked my local @brumgreens.bsky.social councillor to demand that this road be closed to cars until the current road works are complete.

A car crashed onto the pavement where pedestrians, including my children, pass every day.

#OnThisDay 142 years ago the Circle Line was completed through the opening of Mansion House to Tower Hill, plus a branch from Aldgate to Whitechapel opened, the latter we see here: the Underground passing over the Overground... always amuses! Timara Easter buff.ly/dqEhDSO

2014 image taken from the southbound Overground platform at Whitechapel with a Class 378 departing the northbound while above an eastbound refurbished D78 District Line service departs for Upminster. This view is impossible now as the new concourse accessing the Elizabeth Line was built above, rafting over the Overground platforms (and of course the D78 stock are long gone too)

20mph save lives and reduce casualties. If you are against 20mph limits then you want more people to be seriously injured and die. The evidence is right here.

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

Somebody with a blue badge making it impossible for anyone with a walking aid, wheelchair or pushing a pram to use the pavement on a busy road. You'd think they'd know better. And no there is absolutely no reason for the car to be parked on the pavement. #PavementParking

Nissan Micra parked 2/3s on the pavement making it next to impossible for people with mobility issues to use and blocking access to houses.

What you’re seeing is the power of systems thinking—the bicycle and train both succeed because they work together seamlessly, where each mode extends the reach of the other.

It's good to see and hear next stop announcements being rolled out on buses across the region, but we need operators to make sure those announcements are useful to passengers. "Next stop: Roundabout" or "Next stop: Road End" is not good enough. At least include the name of the town or village!

The Tories have announced they would abolish Natural England, support a Third Runway & pull the UK out of the Aarhus Convention - in further signs they’ve totally given up on Middle England, don’t give a toss about the environment & just want to please some wealthy grouse moor owners & raving YIMBYs

Tory party press release: “[We will leave the Aarhus] Convention that powers the lawfare hindering every major infrastructure project in this country.”

“Abolish Natural England and the Environment Agency, moving to a more streamlined regulatory landscape to protect our environment.”

Tory PR: “Support a Third Runway at Heathrow Airport and wider expansion, increasing capacity to deliver cheaper flights, better connections for passengers, and more exports of high-value British goods.”
