@CorranFerry @trafficscotland @HighlandCouncil @NWTrunkRoads Hey @CorranFerry, any update? About to leave Fort William but should we go the long way round?

@DaleVince My no-fossil-fuels tax will be used to… help petrol/diesel drivers to keep using fossil fuels. 🤔

@sarah_go_green I don’t get how the electricity cap is going up by about 5% when it’s supposedly based on the price of gas, which is going down. 🤯 Feels like a punishment for homes who have converted to all-electric - 🐙 Cosy here - hope the low rate stays similar!

@GlasgowCC @GoBikeGlasgow I work near here and commute by bike every day. You said that you are “enhancing safe cycle routes” however none of the plans for the north side of Argyle street have any provision for this. Your survey doesn’t allow me to provide this feedback.

Just a quick reminder that Glasgow's 170-year-old Argyle Street Ash Tree has been shortlisted for the Woodland Trust's Tree of the Year 2025. Voting ends this Friday, so if you haven't voted already, you'll need to do it soon: https://t.co/AoK8CFkfNC

@rwatsoncoach I discovered them when I started uni (20 years ago! 😱) so had all these to enjoy around the same time!

A lesson for every Brit.

Only a few days left to respond to this proposal.
If you're a cyclist in Glasgow, please respond objecting to the removal of the Westbound contraflow cycle lane it's going to make accessing Central Station and the cycle lanes on Hope St and Waterloo St much more difficult.

@WetaWorkshop would have walked to Mordor and back for this 25 years ago!

Man, 3D printing has gotten WAY better. Back in the day, you'd be lucky to get one layer of this, and it'd still probably break easily.

@NetworkRailSCOT @ScotRail @transcotland Always wondered what the boxes attached to the bridge do! 👨‍🎓

@GivEnergy @GivEnergy I’d also love to be able to see a split of solar vs grid or battery for what’s powering the EV charger. As far as I can tell, currently the EV charger isn’t capable of showing this despite it being connected to the rest of my GivEnergy system. Is that in your pipeline?

[Peter Johnston 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🌍 @peterjohnston]

Hey @GivEnergy, why can’t I have more than one EV Charger schedule slot active at once? Please add this ability! I’m on the @OctopusEnergy Cosy tariff as I have a heat pump so taking advantage of more than one cheap energy slot is critical!

[Peter Johnston 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🌍 @peterjohnston]

Hey @GivEnergy, any update on this? Lots of people on your community forum are also calling for this!

@is_glasgow This one was on Kelvin Walkway a couple of months ago but it’s disappeared now.

@Damon_BPHR @ViessmannCS_UK What’s the cosy jacket on the hot water tank?

@Dan_GTiT @EVPuzzle @raimonick @evmanuk @tillathenun Generated 1.07MWh from 7kWp last month in Glasgow, exporting 689kWh of it. Best month ever for us too by about 25%! ☀️

@energystatsuk @OctopusEnergy If only it did this regularly like last year! Agile still hasn’t been worth it for us so far.

[Peter Johnston 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🌍 @peterjohnston]

@staffordgary @OctopusEnergy A terrible idea!
