València in torrential rain has been worth every moment. Great neighbourhoods food people . Even a Jane Jacob’s street mural celebrating #mixeduse and #communitities
Tough gig Mike. Enjoy the next steps as the new career evolves.

Sadly negativity and scepticism is founded on experience in practice of turgid process under resourced public authorities and a half empty can / can’t do approach within the planning profession . It all needs a good burst of passion to get on and deliver. The JR process itself is a further burden.

Dreadful short term response to an issue which I predict will disappear within 10 years like VHS recorders and Squarials…Charging cars this way cannot be the answer into the medium term.
The Department for Transport has published guidance aimed at helping councils to boost cross-pavement, on-street charging of EVs. But could it spark parking wars by leading residents to think a space "belongs" to them? I take a look for @inews.co.uk here inews.co.uk/news/politic...

As a driver I just came through in the dark for the first time…that mini roundabout in the middle likely to give issues…no noticeable calming in the dark. All day time visual #bydesign #betterillumination
