@kira_millana Are these the final plans ? The proposed works removed the loading bay outside the Co-op. Is it now reinstated ? https://t.co/rTvSJsyGot

[Alex Connor @AlexConnor]

@healthy_hill @Labourstone I don't think that is needed. Good luck with it all !

[Alex Connor @AlexConnor]

@healthy_hill @Labourstone You are testing my intellectual purity - I like it !

[Alex Connor @AlexConnor]

@healthy_hill @Labourstone That is what I mean. The trade off shouldn't be between vulnerable people and pedestrian safety. The balance is between impatient drivers needing to wait a few seconds and pedestrian safety.

[Alex Connor @AlexConnor]

@healthy_hill @Labourstone The proposal is cynical. Post Office is a vital amenity; parking is needed for those with limited mobility. To propose removing the only permit free parking in the name of pedestrian safety, rather than doing something to actually stop people driving on the path, is disingenuous.

@healthy_hill @Labourstone I have found the local councillors very supportive on this. Happy to support any campaign.

[Alex Connor @AlexConnor]

@healthy_hill @healthy_hill @Labourstone Progress, yes, but after years of indifference. This is a consultation on some double yellow lines. Hopefully they will appear and have an impact. How can this have taken so long and why is this the limit of ambition ?

[Alex Connor @AlexConnor]

@kira_millana @ShumonAliRahman @Labourstone Thank you ! Could I ask for a link or a pointer on where to find the details ?

@kira_millana @healthy_hill @jreades @wfcouncil @Labourstone On the topic of Higham Hill Road pavements. The bus was unusual; the cars are there every day.

@charlesmtracy Congratulations Charles ! More than deserved.

@susanmmarino It's not *just* me, then !

Early morning John Berman sounds a lot like Casey Kasem.

I think this is what you said they should do? @SheilaGilheany

The plan also includes a program dedicated to fundamental research—a policy shift for an agency that over the past decade has spent most of its funding on industry-aligned research centers. https://t.co/fHpDXAJngI

This is way too self deprecating. My partner has just written a fantastic and accessible book about why place matters in the Covid era and anyone involved in cities, economic geography or business should go buy it now!

Quite wonderful
