Recently at a Q&A, the chair asked me an excellent question: Why do you push so hard against the idea of a ‘nature cure’ when moments in your book Drystone - A Life Rebuilt might look like exactly that?

Sheffield Hallam staff are going on strike – but will the university listen?
This week marks the first of strike action at Sheffield Hallam. Now Then headed down to the picket line to find out why staff are choosing to swap their lanyards for placards over the next few weeks.

Useful info but the focus on time to travel to city centre neglects the circular neighbourhood linking routes that are important to many. Esp young ppl, older ppl, carers. These journeys are SO Tricky by bus in Sheffield.
Very cool use of r5r to calculate the potential increase in accessible population through improved bus/tram/train timetables in various English cities

In the @uk.theconversation.com, I rehearse - in briefer form - my arguments _for_ play in grey space, arguing that it affords opportunities for play, connection and care that green space often can’t, and that it’s politically important to value play in these spaces.
Children should have a right to play in the streets, alleys, pavements and car parks of their neighbourhoods
Play isn’t just for playgrounds.
