A viable cycling network is a vital safety-net for people and the economy. Is the cheapest transport network to install and maintain. A measure of a city’s competence and civility.

Chopping the organics collection is the project most of Welly’s aspiring mayors have on their to do list. Shock is odd considering they all want to provide value for money services. @maxrashbrooke.bsky.social explains why it’s good for planet and wallets.
