@Rob_Fiehn Yikes! How time flies 😬

We risk moving from recession to 'full-blown depression'.

Professor Mariana Mazzucato breaks down 'dysfunctionalities' in the economic system which should be tackled instead of 'punishing consumers and families' who already face high costs of living.

When I think of Bonfire night as a kid, I think of bitter cold and wrapping up really warm with scarf and gloves. There are fireworks outside and I’m still in a T-shirt. 😨

We have a great new #PXFeature up on our website provided by the GLA’s Aishni Rao. Aishni takes us through the @centreforlondon report ‘Making the most of local authority assets’. #GLA #London #PropertyXChange https://t.co/zA1ylqoAb5

Finnish scientists has won a European innovation award for making carbon-negative precast concrete

Their system uses CO2 gas which mineralises as carbonate during the curing process, eliminating the need for energy-intensive Portland cement as a binder

V misleading - we won some v interesting commissions - but in terms of fee income often 70% of the fee goes straight out the door to 8 or 9 subconsultant firms. Small businesses managing procuring big teams on behalf of Authorities is a major undertaking in its own right

[Russell Curtis @russellcurtis]

Rather misleading figures in this piece from @ArchitectsJrnal. Many of the large projects won through ADUP II were for multi-disciplinary teams - the actual income for those listed practices actually much lower once the sub-consultant’s fees removed.

This message needs amplifying. People in practice (inc directors) are absorbing enormous / increasing amounts of chaos from the industry at large. It is excessive. It takes a heavy toll on those who hold themselves to the highest standards. https://t.co/6QbM3rRtp2

This is an incredible report from Denmark

It uses planetary boundaries to understand what embodied carbon reductions are needed to keep us below 1.5C of warming. In Denmark this reduction is from 480kgCO2e/m2 to 20kgCO2e/m2 in 10 years.

@Rob_Fiehn In the real world they would never get through their probation period on the job.

@Rob_Fiehn @sekfordesession I’ve just sent it to my sister, a woman in engineering, and look forward to her expletives.

@Rob_Fiehn @sekfordesession 🤦‍♀️

[Chatsworth road LTNs @chatsLTNs]

The top of Powerscroft road from lower Clapton rd is one of the most dangerous roads to cycle in Hackney. It’s an entrance to 3 rat runs all used a high speeds. Traffic is using these roads to jump queues on lower Clapton road and cut through residential roads. @metecoban92

[Fiona Scott @FiScott]

@Satchers Someone described it as a desperate fire sale at the end of the failed Tory endeavour. Let’s hope it’s the end but it doesn’t make it any better

[Chatsworth road LTNs @chatsLTNs]

Chatsworth road traffic management proposal for @metecoban92 this allows local access in 4 zones and stops any rat runs by using bus gates and diagonal filters @HackneyLivingSt @mayorofhackney @hackney_cycling

[Fiona Scott @FiScott]

Looking forward to joining Argent and Brent Council team alongside Sadie Morgan who’s chairing this @LREF_

[Philip Oldfield @SustainableTall]

Cost to subsidise energy bills in the UK for 18 months = £130 billion

Cost to make all 26 million UK homes net zero = £676 billion

[Fiona Scott @FiScott]

@HackneyLivingSt @hackneycouncil @metecoban92 @mayorofhackney Can @hackneycouncil @mayorofhackney please do Lower Clapton now? Dunlace rd/ median rd ratruns.

The energy crisis is a day all governments knew/ should have known would come and have failed to act. We're addicted to cheap energy. This government is particularly culpable as usual:

[Howard Beckett @BeckettUnite]

• France: Energy to be 100% owned by the people & price rises of 4%

• England: Energy to be 0.00% owned by the people & price rises of 200%

Conclusion?
