"local leaders know their streets best and will intend on being given the power to take action" ????

Not sure why LAs need guidance if they "know their streets best" why does DfT need to be involved?

This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

The Canal and River Trust is entrusted to look after our precious waterways .
The restoration of our canal network has been a real success story creating new habitats for wildlife, access to nature to millions of people and building new communities on and around our waterways.

Meet Marco, who tells us how, one public toilet at a time he and the Edinburgh Thriving Green Spaces team are breaking down barriers to spending time outdoors.

His story shows how small changes can make green spaces welcoming for all.

Happy February!

Welcome to most underrated and fastest improving month. You start in the depths of winter and end waking up in the light to the sound of birds singing, to the sight of snowdrops, daffodils and early blossom in the trees

Good to see mainstream coverage of “deplaytion” - the loss and decline of neighbourhood playgrounds, and of a tolerance of children’s neighbourhood play.

It’s critical that this issue is taken as seriously - in terms of children’s mental health - as social media.

Thanks @anooshc.bsky.social.

Excellent thread on a complex issue, well worth a read. Reform of the law is certainly needed.
1/15 The Labour Party are coming for the Green Party on drug policy. And they are doing it by sensationalising and mispresenting the policy. This is politics driven by focus group, that aims to smear and misinform at best - or lie and disinform at worst.

We keep banging on about council funding because the end result is this very real, very depressing fraying of the social fabric. Newcastle needs to save £200k so the park cafes close, the staff is let go, and another community anchor goes. To save pennies.
