🌊 Ambition for a Clean Tyne: Setting a New Standard for Our River & Coast Every time heavy rain hits raw sewage flows into our river. Cleaning up after the latest plastic pollution event shouldn't be where our ambition ends. Getting back to a polluted "baseline" isn't enough.

Beach Update: 8am worrying accumulation of plastic pellets has washed up along Longsands and many more on Fish Quay overnight. ⚠️ Please avoid stepping on affected sand to prevent pushing pellets deeper in. Cleanup teams are on-site working hard, but scale is bigger than seen for a while

This animation follows the ~17 tonnes of pellets released from 19 July for 37 days to 25 August, with future wind forcing extended using the BBC Weather forecast for the area. To add in a known long term problem Sewage outfall figures at the top including Monday evening😞.

🚦 Moving Beyond the "Culture Wars" on Our Roads It’s easy to look at streets and pick a side, but the reality of transport is more complex than a headline or a social media argument. I’m opening up a conversation about how we actually keep #Tynemouth moving safely #RoadSafety #PrestonRoad #Transport

A few words on the tragic loss last month of a local father riding his bike on Preston Road. We’re not at a point where it’s appropriate to comment on the circumstances of this collision, but it is time to get to work looking at the choices our community faces. Just awful. 😞

Depressing week in politics. A week ago riding Kidical Mass along the coast with hundreds of children & families. 😔 local father killed in a collision on their bike at the edge of my Ward last week. Impossible to comment on that directly this close to an election & with the family still in shock.

🚦Ever wonder why we push so hard for lower speed on our local streets? Surprised by how dramatically collisions & injuries have fallen on the coast after the changes there? It’s all about vision 👁️ The faster people drive, the narrower their field of vision becomes.

In this instance something happened to the driver. But in a photo nothing shows up more despite all our campaigning this section of Preston Road is a mess. The 1960s fencing (safety hazard), the yellow paint, excess speeds. The kids in the background deserve better, they’ve told us they want better

The driving ban of my grandad & namesake Tom, discovered accidentally via internet search, he was 23 it was 1939, this wasn’t mentioned to his future family. The penalty equates to about the same as someone would get today, posted without judgement or excuse.

Over the years have heard horrible tales of traffic collisions particularly from our neighbours up the coast between Cullercoats and Whitley Bay. Can't guarantee that this is over but based on last year we are off to a great start.
