U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Does anyone have a photo of one of those UK dual carriageways where pedestrians are expected to scurry across? If so, could I possibly get a copy to use for a talk?

A picture of a sticker on a wooden surface. The sticker is black with the following text in white: 

Been waiting long?

That's because the council thinks someone in a car, a quarter of a mile away, is more important than you*.

They could make the lights change as soon as you press the button if they wanted, but they don't.

Complain to them.

* A car moving at 30 mph will travel a quarter of a mile in 30 seconds.

Second Irish firm starts to supply Dutch-style ‘entrance kerbs’ as part of active travel range
Another Irish company has started supplying councils with Dutch-style ‘entrance kerbs’ — a key traffic-calming feature for continuous cycle paths and footpaths — as part of its range of active travel kerbs. Killeshal Precast Concrete, a company based in County Offaly, said that they are "proud to announce the official launch of our Active Travel Kerb Range manufactured here in Ireland."

The strategic road network is managed by a charity and relies on the goodwill of land owners for access. Some motorways will be muddy and flooded each winter. Also The strategic road network stops randomly at council boundaries and investment is where councils are willing. (UK edition).

Did anyone spot the Christmas tree in a Stevenage underpass recently? Find out why it was there 👉 www.cyclinguk.org/group/post/i... We have written once more to Hill and councillors - at both SBC and HCC. We have just one request: "Please could everyone work together for a solution?"
A Christmas tree with lights stands between two columns in an otherwise dark underpass A Christmas tree with lights stands in an underpass without lights, the cycleway and the next underpass (with lights) is visible further away in the background A black drape with reflective strips hangs from a wall in the underpass. The reflective strips show a person cycling. There are Christmas lights hanging above the image of the person cycling.

We are keen to continue working with 9Yards and other stakeholders to make improvements to the Roaring Meg for wheeling and cycling.
An infographic with title Campaign win! Plans for Roaring Meg road link withdrawn again after resident objections 

The infographic has an illustration of a person with a hard hat holding a technical sketch of a building alongside a person in a flowery dress with a bicycle helmet holding a bike.

The infographic reads:
We're on the right track: 9Yards mentioned engagement with Invis-Ability and Cycling UK Stevenage and agreed better cycling, wheeling and walking access is needed. BUT...

Safe and easy cycling routes were missing and a key entrance route was suggested to be changed to pedestrian-only.

Residents across the town responded to our call to OBJECT to the planning application in light of our remaining concerns.

We will continue to campaign for improvements to the Roaring Meg. This would be in line with HCC priorities for active travel. We encourage developers to approach us before drafting their plans. This has led to positive collaborations and results for everyone.
