The latest Senedd Reseach article on greenhouse gases emissions shows how much we've got to do to meet our targets. Some sectors have been more effective than others in reducing their GHGs emmissions... research.senedd.wales/research-art...

Following the UK Government's plan to ban social media for U'16s, the Welsh Government has today published it's survey of mobile phone use in schools. Lots in there that might be of interest to policymakers. Most schools have written policy or guidance on the issue. www.gov.wales/survey-mobil...

New research from @transenv.bsky.social finds that average bonnet height in newly-sold cars is increasing by 0.5cm a year, reaching 83.8cm in 2024, up from 76.9cm in 2010. This increases severity of crashes & reduce drivers’ visibility. www.transportenvironment.org/articles/eve...

Interesting report from Ofcom on the UK's listening habits 🎧 Younger people more likely to listen to podcasts weekly (28% of 25-34s and 30% of 35-44s) 🎙️ Spotify and BBC Sounds leads the way on the podcast platform of choice. www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and...

In the year to May 13, only 225mm of rain had fallen in England and Wales, 29 per cent below the long-run average. By this metric, 2025 has been the driest year since 1997 and the seventh-driest year on record since comparable data began in 1931.

I've never seen a packed out Parc y Scarlets. Not even on a Boxing Day or New Years Day Derby. At least there's a bit of an atmosphere when the Scarlets play. Shouting "Come on Bath/Glos" every 5mins is crap. Capacity crowd at the Rec today and it was underwhelming at times.

Some depressing figures on regional newspaper circulation. Not surprising though. Thinking of next year's Senedd election, how do we have quality scrutiny of each of the parties in Sir Gâr when ~ 3,000 read local news? pressgazette.co.uk/media-audien...
