Now imagine if Bristol city centre was turned into this instead of those manky fountains that ain’t ever on

8 in 10 🇬🇧 people aged 55-64 regularly played outside their homes as a child. Today less than 3 in 10 children are allowed to play outside.

When I was in London last week I cycled C9 from Brentford through the Hammersmith gyratory. It's a route I know well and a huge improvement. Lots of people using it. Still plenty to do but west London is moving in the right direction.

🤔 This could be transformational both saving money and making things better.

The kitten will REPORT to Larry the Cat.

This is Marvin. He bullied so many journalists over so many years. He often bullied the only journalist in the room — a publicly funded one. To dismiss how toxic he was in power to identity politics is insulting to all of Bristol.

Interesting. I read this after reading Rawnsley on Blair. What a contrast! One probes a highly successful, if morally dubious, leader, who brushes criticism aside. The other tip toes round a local authority boss who attributes evil motives to critics. bristol247.com/news-and-featu…

Why does this work? Correct; no motor vehicles.

Okay, so I was going to maintain a dignified silence on Marvin. Then this was published: "To me, some of the local reporting on Marvin’s tenure could very much be described as racist." Absolutely no. The public bullying I experienced that day was abysmal. bristol247.com/news-and-featu…

Could we have this scheme in Bristol too, please? Bristol City Council

Terrible service from First Bus this morning. Bristol deserves so much better than this same old rubbish

It’s only when you go to another city when you realise how incredibly poor public transport has become normalised in Bristol. Waiting for an hour for a bus with multiple cancellations and no reason for the delay is just not on

I can't make it but hope other Bristol active travelllers can 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️🚶🚲

😀 Bristol City Council has published an update on the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood EBLN, advising that the "trial measures will be installed in November and December 2024 with some preparatory works set to get underway in the coming weeks."

Funded by the West of England Combined Authority £423m City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement Infrastructure programme. An onerous self-imposed (WECA) paper trail produced mainly by external consultants. 2/3 of funds spent on buses. All the value comes from Active Travel. 🤣🤔😭
