@lb_southwark Good news to promote more sustainable ways to travel. Yet we don't see any measures to deal with scenes like this one in Canada Water on Saturday night.

@CJL_news It's a pity that the photo is for another development in Canada Water and not British Land though both share spaces around the basin

[What's on SE1 & SE16 @WISE16]

@willnorman But if they are going to use the bike racks for non-dockless bikes, I trust they will put more racks for people who use the own bikes. Because that’s not happening in London with many bike parking occupied by the dockless and having to remove them to park your own bike

[Southwark Police | Central South BCU @MPSSouthwark]

Can you help our colleagues in @sussex_police find #missing Lorenzo, who was last seen in the London Bridge area on Wednesday, 21 October?

Have you seen this image of an elderly French couple in their underwear being shared online with claims they were stripped and robbed during the recent riots in France?

It’s AI and there are no official reports confirming the attack.

Will @lb_southwark follow Ealing Council?

BBC News - New powers to seize e-bikes that obstruct paths
https://t.co/tTcp9RJm8M

[Full Fact @FullFact]

For 10 weeks, we asked five AI chatbots the same questions every day.

None repeated the core misinformation they were tested on, but they reported proposals as law, quoted outdated figures and gave different answers on different days.

Our first report: https://t.co/A7IDSRFc6Y

Are we saying that all the years that @SouthwarkLabour was in power, the nuisance of badly parked dockless bikes was not happening?

🤔 Yes, it was happening and dockless bike parking spaces set up by the Council are used by cars & no clear signs to stop it.

[Neil Coyle @coyleneil]

Sort your mess out @limebike - currently blocking the entire Tooley Street crossing outside London Bridge station.

Greens/LibDem Coalition running Southwark Council want more of this…🤦🏻‍♂️

[What's on SE1 & SE16 @WISE16]

How does he know?

The answer, he lied when he said it.
Watch and be amused!

[BBC London @BBCLondonNews]

🚲 Should dockless e-bike firms face tougher rules?

With complaints about abandoned bikes on the rise, operators were questioned today by the London Assembly's transport committee over licensing rules and how the bikes should be managed.

[What's on SE1 & SE16 @WISE16]

It's always the same mantra: improvements to public realm.

😬 What they didn't specify for who, in the case, it seems it's not for people wishing to seat and rest.

Is that right, @lb_southwark?

Shell Centre, another developer’s eco gimmick? Does it sound familiar?

The Strata building in E&C. Its wind turbines have rarely been operational due to noise and vibration complaints from residents, and they have been mothballed since 2014

[SE1 - @se1.news on Bluesky @se1]

Shell Centre / Southbank Place: "One of London’s largest water reuse systems at a landmark development has been out of action since shortly after it was completed eight years ago, Utility Week can reveal." https://t.co/eVr71XNfLK
