Second: in Reddish, the footpath-only section of Arthur Street is proposed to be made shared use and the lighting columns moved out of the path, increasing permeability for neighbouring streets.

Deadline also 14 December.

Heading into town later has become The Travelling Salesman Problem, except I also need to avoid all the Christmas markets.

Turns out Skara Brae in Ultima is Skara Brae IRL.
Is it "miles and miles of bugger all"?

I've been set some difficult puzzles in my time as a cycle campaigner, but trying to safely navigate Ashton town centre might be the one that defeats me.

Anyone know what this question is fishing for?

If you want some good news this morning, I showed my three boys the PM doing the six/seven thing and now they have all stopped doing it.

Bloody hell, Leeds. Things must have been really bad off campus.

I see that 'punching up' now includes all Europeans.

Honestly, any excuse to punch with some people.

*whispers* The problem is all the cars.

Big news from Wales.

Side road zebra crossings as an option where both roads are 20mph are on their way 🦓

Another tool in the box, but I'd recommend contextual use because they are not a universal solution.

In Goodwin Curve news, @willhaycardiff.bsky.social's latest newsletter notes how the immediate aftermath of the Welsh 20 mph speed limits saw a petition raise 400,000 signatures. Today, a second petition has just 2387 signatures

Could we keep the doom for tomorrow? If we have to suffer it regardless, we can at least put it off.

'This government is firmly on the side of the drivers'.
Today marks the 5th anniversary of the end of the consultation on pavement parking, carried out under the last government.

We've seen no action when it comes to standing up for people walking and wheeling, who are unable to go about their daily lives safely and easily.

A reminder that social media always goes extra bad when lots of people aren't at work. Be especially wary of hot takes this week.

Strongly of the belief that Budget discussion should take place on Budget Day and the eleven days thereafter, with perhaps a single Budget item on Budget Eve if you're feeling generous.
