“‘Council poised to ban ‘dangerous’ ⁦Lime⁩ bikes” Finally, a London borough (Brent) taking some action against e-bikes ridden and dumped on pavements. I bet I’m not the only one to cheer (though I’ll believe it when I see it). theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

SHAMEFUL and this is what Swansea Council plan for our city, in Uplands and elsewhere, when most residents oppose it Swansea Online Sustrans Cymru Wheelrights Swansea - Shameful contempt for democracy & pedestrians, esp the vulnerable, blind, elderly, disabled. INCLUSION?

Everyday danger and fire hazard on the Metropolitan line to Euston Square - SIX modified e-bikes with at least two large lithium batteries each in a single tube carriage. It’s only a matter of time before there’s a serious lithium battery fire on the underground.

Great day for our 1st set of recces for the Chilterns National Landscape #AccessWalks project. Perfect weather for it as Richard, #MoveMedia, & I Phab UK visited 3 wonderful locations. Very accessible too so can't wait to create the info & videos. So much to see & do👍

The Liberal Democrats have appointed disabled MP Steve Darling MP as their work and pensions spokesperson. I raised concerns about safeguarding and #UniversalCredit with him on Saturday and he promised to take up this "serious issue" in parliament. Interview will appear on DNS tomorrow.

Access to Great Tower Street, the main access point to the City of London from The Tower of London completely cut off by an impenetrable sea of Lime and Forest. Utterly unacceptable. We need urgently to find a London wide solution. BBC London Shravan Joshi.

I am honoured to be appointed by Ed Davey as Liberal Democrats spokesperson for Work and Pensions. I’m looking forward to working with Liberal Democrat colleagues to hold the Government to account around the cost-of-living crisis and making our benefits system fit for purpose.

I wonder does this mean I get a raise or perhaps extra dog treats?? 😋😋
