In this piece we highlight the gendered differences that women experience in accessing parks and foreground a new study exploring intersectional barriers faced by underserved communities. A huge thank you to my wonderful co-authors @jenniegray.bsky.social @vikkimaps.bsky.social

Allowing cycles on the tram off-peak is a positive move for Greater Manchester. Article discusses rearranging carriages. I really hope this means that cycles will have their own space, and not use spaces designated for wheelchair users, like in the trials. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I really enjoyed getting out into Bradford and speaking to residents about what makes them feel welcome in parks, and what makes it more challenging. A great way to connect and feed into the upcoming survey for our @greenaware.bsky.social project!
