In January, the council gave permission for 68 flats to be built on a riverside concrete fabrication works in Bristol, with ZERO %‘affordable’. Now tho…

All the new apartments at riverside site will be 'affordable' after deal struck
Councillors gave permission despite there being no 'affordable housing' included, now it's going to be 100% 'affordable'

I've been collecting pandemic era signs that nobody can be bothered to take down or remove. There's something grimly fascinating about this. Putting them up was urgent and important; removing them is nobody's job. How long will some of these hang around?

I’m really proud that my article is the most read today on BS/247. I was so worried no one would read it. This just proves that people care about nature and want to protect it.

Apologies to ‘Work to install bike paths starting soon’ you had a good run 😂

East Bristol dog folks. St George Park 2pm.

Some of the dog owners we're friends with are raising money for Bristol Animal Rescue Centre selling cakes and home made dog treats.

Our house has stunk of cakes and peanut butter dog biscuits all week.

Great bit of research, actually showing total numbers rather than numbers of species.
"Cities appeared to have higher insect numbers than homogenous agricultural land, which is likely to offer less diverse habitat"
