lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Interesting. A woman drove her car into me on a street bike lane. While my union funded lawyers are holding the insurance company of the driver to account, I feel a bit sorry for her. I think the infrastructure (Summerfield st Sheffield) is largely responsible. 100

lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 19/05/2025I think we either need AVs, or driver driven cars, or neither. All AVs might be good coz we could get rid of parked cars. AVs don't mix well with drivers as they have different logics and liable to conflict. Neither might be best! (Dream on!) 010

lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 01/05/2025@kierachapman.bsky.social is about 40 minutes in... but if you want to hear me on the water crises as well, listen from the beginning (it is actually, all great .....oh, okay then, I'm 20 mins in!) 100
lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Happy Earth day with a bit of nature painted in India 500 years ago (and viewed in the V&A yesterday) 020
lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 23/04/20255/ The regulation process should enable long term planning including adaptive investment and the maintenance of assets. Regulators' responsibilities should encompass all sources of pollution: as well as water companies, pollution from highways and agriculture need to be managed. 000
lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 23/04/20254/ Regulators (including the Environment Agency and local planning authorities) needs sufficient funding to do their job 000
lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 23/04/20253. Government should coordinate 'soft' infrastructure a) data sharing platform for transparency, including citizen science b) public engagement strategy including key messages (e.g. 'respect for water') and infographics c) attention to the chronic shortage of water-trained personnel. 010
lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 23/04/20252/ Democratically steered catchment bodies should specify regional standards, coordinate monitoring, invest in required infrastructure, and support partnerships (with local authorities and community groups) to enable responsiveness to regional circumstances and clarity for developers and landowners. 000
lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 23/04/20251/ We said we need a government plan for water emphasising respect for our water systems. Taking a whole systems approach, it would coordinate priorities between water services (water supply, flood resilience and river health) and with related sectors (agriculture, transport and urban planning). 000
lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Today I have made the Sheffield Water Centre submission to the Independent Commission on Water. It is the outcome of an online conversation between 10 academics. Some of our key findings are... (thread!) 710

lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 21/04/2025The pope had a long reign of 13 years compared to the average (7). His passing was perfect, all prepared following his illness but he managed the human contact of Easter. I'm not religious but i value global leadership on climate and i hope his successor will also fight poverty. 010
lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 01/04/2025So that is what you rushed off to!! 100
lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 30/03/20253. Mobilising public action to address water requires regional democratic oversight 000
lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 30/03/20252. Excluding the public from engaging with the water system represents a missed opportunity to enable greater resilience. 000
lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 30/03/20251. The current water system treats water supply, drainage, and flood protection as isolated technical domains, managed by experts for a passive public. 000

lizsharpyorks.bsky.social @lizsharpyorks.bsky.social · 18/03/2025Exactly. How can we create health giving interactions at work, at home and in communities? Not via more performance targets, that is for sure!! 010
