At last! Much more intelligent than nuclear but quicker/cleaner/cheaper does not appeal to the mindset in 10 Downing St. No surprises.

Broadway Market was where we re-launched the Pedestrians Association as @livingstreets back in 2000, with a community breakfast. Great to see it thriving after its pedestrianisation.

London Fields - and to think there were SOME objectors to this pedestrianisation - market stalls from one end to the other and really heaving - shop owners must be very very pleased

Great piece by @AndrewSimms_uk exploring the history and current landscape of scientists’ political activism.

[Andrew Simms @AndrewSimms_uk]

As scientists get arrested for acting on their own knowledge, protesting against fossil fuels & weak gov' #climate action, here's a short piece from me @ResponsibleSci showing how the new activism has strong & deep roots 👇

Car parks are stressful, miserable and exclusive.

Instead we should create happy places for everyone to enjoy.
