Although we do have excellent tree officers who work with @thetreecouncil.bsky.social tree wardens.

Wiltshire County Council and @chippenhamtown.com - we seem to be losing more trees than we're planting. Residential areas are pulling up trees & front gardens to replace with ugly car storage. WCC seems very pro car and anti nature at the moment.

Tickets bought, plus a couple for Christmas pressies - next year is looking good already... if the world doesn't end!

When cities and society can take care of the needs of our oldest, youngest, and people that face the most uphill battles in life, it will indirectly take great care of all of us in between as well.

We have to make all decisions going forward that puts everything else first and car culture last.

Our most vulnerable members of society are the victims of our poor decisions to prioritize car culture, exclaiming that because robust public transit or high quality, efficient sidewalks are of no use to us in particular that our tax dollars shouldn't fund it. This is narcissistically selfish.
