There are more EV charge points in Westminster Council than in 8 major UK cities β Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bradford, Glasgow, Southampton, Portsmouth & Newcastle β combined.
Building a national network will require stronger public coordination.

@scchighways@SouthamptonCC ... the north side is heavily used by pedestrians and it's a precarious crossing.But the main immediate point here is you removed the temp controlled crossing on the north side without re-opening the controlled crossing on the south side! So currently there's no safe way to cross
@dailyecho About time the police enforced speed limits in our city. That someone would drive at 35mph in this area is so selfish and dangerous, what are they thinking?
@ben_fishwick@dailyecho The atmosphere was great and I felt very proud of my city for coming out in support of tolerance for all. I am glad there was no looting or damage of property as well, as I know a lot of small business owners were fearful of what might happen. Hold your head high Southampton

Oswald Mosley tried to hold a fascist rally in Southampton in 1937. It was unsuccessful. There were scuffles between locals and his bodyguards. Mosley was hit by a stone; he had to escape by being bundled into a barricaded tram by the police.
βWe donβt want Mosley!β was the cry.
Almost all cars setting off the "slow down" sign on London Road right next to an area with bars & shops. I expected they were all speeding, now I know. Some must be going 40-50! When will we see speed guns @SouthamptonCops @SouthamptonCC ? @DonnaJonesPCC Not seen any in decades!
I, as a former CEO of the Association of Police & Crime Commissioners would have heavily advised against a current PCC, let alone the Chair, appearing to justify rioting & criminality that police officers are bravely having to deal with right now
Totally unacceptable
@SouthamptonCops This is awful, but you guys don't help. When was the last time you carried out any speed enforcement? I haven't seen a single example in maybe the last 10 years? It's essentially known that you can speed in Southampton without consequence (as long as you don't kill someone) :(
@Spindrift_UK @Nathan_A_RF I haven't cycled it yet, but I walked down it and it was pleasant enough. How did you cross Charlotte Place? I was expecting I would cross through the roundabout as before on the dual pedestrian-cycle crossings? Surely it can't be worse than it was (can it)?
