What's happening here? Maybe something changed part way through 2023 on urban/residential 30mph roads! I wonder if it could be that from Sep 17th 2023 95% of roads with a 30mph limit were changed to 20mph. #20splenty making your place an even better, safer, quieter, fairer place to be!

it isn't just friction-heavy, it relies on you having access to the cash to pay up-front and the be reimbursed. I didn't realise this and had to take out a credit card to pay for my install,

Russian's don't care about Ukrainian lives, that much is clear, but the people who only use Ukrainian suffering as a rhetorical device care just as little about what Russia is doing to this country.

Russia has bombed a school basically every single day this week, so for those people who say "if this was happening in Ukraine, it would be on the front pages every day", how many times have you seen that on the front page of even one of your national newspapers this week? Zero.

In February 1972, 20 students from Glasgow School of Art greeted Gordon Campbell, the Scottish Secretary of State, as he opened the Charing Cross section of the M8. They waved banners that are as relevant now as they were then as Campbell passed beneath in the Lord Provost's car. 📷 Newqsquest

this is the thing about moyes - box him in and eventually he does the right thing, the strategic thing, the thing that benefits the club. Give him the keys to the castle and he'll bankrupt your club with Ndongs, Djilobodjis, ward-prowses and scamaccas

🚋Talking trams in Coventry today at our #TimeForTrams conference with Create Streets and Landor LINKS LIVE. With renewed focus on mass transit, it's the perfect time to explore how we can make light rail quicker, cheaper and easier to deliver across the UK.

Whoever owns us, i don't want us to function on the whim of a sugar daddy. I want us to be able to stand on our own two feet, which means developing talent and being a selling club, but selling on our terms.

Eric Lesley @ericlesley2.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
100% this. And what we need is our club leadership to be open and honest with the fan base about this. Progress needs to be steady. That's not lacking ambition, it's reality.

There have been bus cycle tracks round bus stops on Leith walk since around 2016-17, long before the tram extension and Prof Tom Rye at Edinburgh Napier University did a conflict study into them. Your officers will have a copy.

The people advocating for Ukraine to surrender its territory to Russia today are the same people that told Ukraine to surrender Crimea to Russia yesterday and the same people who will tell Ukraine to surrender Odesa tomorrow.

i dislike the phrase "parenting style" like it's something you pick up and try on. You just do the best you bloody can and try your best to keep everyone alive and functioning!

Imagine everyone hadn't moaned 24/7 about it on twitter and just watched and experienced how good it is and the politicians had taken the lesson that integrating tram, cycling and pedestrian facilities was really important instead of saying "let's never try that again, the cyclists just moan"!

the continuous footways are a massive success, the pedestrian environment is superb and it is full of prosocial behaviour throughout.
