We have one intended to be like that between Congleton station and canal towpath. Possibly installed upside down. Which doesn’t really matter as it would be unusable whichever way up. A non cycling person signed it off.

In Cheshire East, that’s 14% of households with no access to a car or van (2021 census data from ONS).

Something being pursued by Congleton Town Council @kaywesley.bsky.social although there is fear from residents about teens hanging around. 🙄

Yep. Genuine choice with safer infrastructure and more reliable public transport is key.

Still no further on though for Congleton on Sundays. 😕 At least we have Sunday buses (day not evening though) to Crewe and Macclesfield for train connections.

Because road accident reduction, safety of road users, and promoting transport options that are healthy for everyone, not just the participants, should not be a political issue. It’s just plain common sense.

Let’s hope they work properly once installed, and are maintained to keep working. 🤞

Too many possibilities to cover in their menu?

Congleton Sustainable Travel @congletonsustrav.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Just pick the nearest relevant one (probably potholes) and then explain in the details that there is no menu item for the problem, then state what it's actually about.

They have had a network of these in Jersey for some years (called Green Lanes). pja.co.uk/blog/what-do... Fortunately, because the traffic levels are high despite a good bus service.

Weird. Police reports never describe cars etc by their power source. Unless they catch fire. Sometimes.

Just put in a FoI request for the same, in case they've found it now.

Found the post - implies it is not experimental. But read the comments. All very confusing.https://bsky.app/profile/emilykerr36.bsky.social/post/3mqmczmhi3226

Wasn’t there a post on here recently showing side road junction zebras (Oxford?) without Belishas? Are they still mandatory for other locations? Would solar rather than mains be feasible and cheaper?

‘We need to put children at the centre of our transport systems.’ Yep.

Time to walk or cycle or use public transport. Or a mix of these. Or car share?

😢 could always get the one before. If they were more frequent than hourly that would help. Mix of old and new buses and breakdowns common. Often heat related so more reliable in winter. 🤞

Ask (demand?) a more informative sign (eg open for people on foot/cycles). Find the contact from One Network. Quote the equality act 2010 and the need for the most convenient route for those walking, wheeling and cycling. Cycles often used by disabled people for mobility).

Should’ve camped at Camasunery. And tackled the footbridge with many missing planks in the morning.

Oh bad step. Tricky with a backpacking sack. Trains, buses, then taxi to Elgol meant too late, ran out of daylight, had to pitch the tent on rough grpubs by a zawn (or whatever they’re called in Scotland). Bonnie Prince Charlie walked round the tent all night. Or was it the wind in the grass heads?

A great bothy there, tucked away out of sight. The mad burn (visible on left) for piped water supply. If the pipe hasn’t dislodged. Loo with a view too. Red deer, eagles, seals.

There is this strange idea that children levitate to their school street. Or is it motornormativity? Of course they are driven to school.

Not awesome for other road users - people on foot, cycles, mobility scooters, in pushchairs, wheelchairs, cars.

Blame users not tech. These are excellent aids for people with visual impairments. Identifying bus numbers, reading timetables, menus etc. Also help if have dyslexia or other reading difficulties. Easier (hands free) than a smart phone (often used covertly to hide a disability). Pervert phones?

Please no wraps on windows. We need to see out please to know where we are! Ditto bus shelters as we need to see the bus approaching and other people.

@showmeasign.online any insights on getting highways to improve this crossroads ///rail.lift.today where we want an all-red stage to give pavement users a chance to cross the roads during busy periods eg school time. Currently people have to take their chances and dash.
