@iffishX @thomasforth Mine heats the house in winter too

@AriankuAri @thomasforth There was a plan for trees. And now maybe the tram might go here so it stays as tarmac for now

[Rob Calver @Navarthian]

@botzarelli @thomasforth 20 years ago! I wonder if more would turn back into houses if the school was still there?

[Rob Calver @Navarthian]

@thomasforth Interesting how lower Leeds is, I suppose there are still vast tracts of empty brownfield 1km out.? Can think of 14 towers going up in that zone currently and twice as many with planning permission though

@Fat_Jacques @thomasforth If anyone fails to understand they are the same/stricter than double yellows they need a ban. It's pretty simple/intuitive

[Rob Calver @Navarthian]

@PoliticalUklist @thomasforth I assume the Jewish population moved here because it had become cheap/unfashionable and left when they got better off. Although I imagine the centre of that community was further down the hill and in, now demolished, Buslingthorpe which had less fancy houses/slums

[Rob Calver @Navarthian]

@thomasforth Very slowly gentrifying in Chapeltown. Obviously very fancy once, will be again sooner or later. Chapel Allerton/Gledhow have already become distinctly bijou long ago

.@danwwang's annual letter is a real treat as ever. I'm glad to have made a footnoted contribution, always important to stay on message.

@thomasforth The SNP breakthrough in 2015 possibly changed everything about these relationships - take a while to see how it works now

[George McGowan @GjMcGowan]

All the questions about TRAMS you were too afraid to ask, number 7 will SHOCK YOU

[Rob Calver @Navarthian]

@botzarelli @thomasforth Part of it. Also a brewdog

@AdamDabrowski99 @SophyRidgeSky @PJTheEconomist Relative economic stagnation and penury are not insurmountable! Just deeply unpleasant

[Rob Calver @Navarthian]

@thomasforth It's quite new that local government isn't broadly powerful - our levels of centralisation are far from the tradition

[Leeds Council News @LeedsCC_News]

We’re consulting on plans for our high street and city centre that will restrict bike riding, limit where street pedlars can sell, and extend pedestrianisation 💬

[Rob Calver @Navarthian]

@AdamDabrowski99 @SophyRidgeSky @PJTheEconomist Still, it's worth noting that the "adjustment" will involve higher taxes, lower spending, worse social care staffing, later pension ages, a crisis in working out how to pay for pensions and the nhs with less workers, etc

@surplustakes @60sJapanfan That it takes so long for business cases is a choice! Is there a law that needs changing or guidelines so they take 6 months?

[Rob Calver @Navarthian]

@JP_Spencer_ I'm not sure it's a good use of 3 years

[Rob Calver @Navarthian]

@horses54321582 @nos_raerf1 @MayorOfWY The average speed of that train is 30mph! Embarrassing

[Rob Calver @Navarthian]

@SilverDraws I'd like a motorway city of the 70s T-shirt!
