It was a real pleasure to talk to Ben Long today about the National Emergency Briefing (nebriefing.org) - and what more #CardiffMetUni can do to support the campaign. We've done two showings and are keen for it to be shown as widely as possible to our students!

Huge thanks to whoever was the brainchild (#Sustrans? #CardiffCouncil?) of the Ely bike path in Cardiff. Got me safely- and in the company of the river- all the way to a meeting of @nicw in Penarth 😍

I hope the newly-renamed 'Walk Wheel Cycle Trust' can come up with a better Welsh name than 'Walk Wheel Cycle Trust yng Nghymru'. I guess that was absent from the discussions when the rebrand of #Sustrans took place 🤷 #Cymraeg

Shame to see #PlaidCymru campaigning on keeping costs low for using cars. Their environmental approach is highly inconsistent. We should be incentivising public transport and active travel, including by reducing subsidies to car users #ActiveTravel #ParkingCharges #PublicTransport @wales
