Bollards & one-way systems stop through traffic. Play signs tell drivers kids are in the street. Paving, build-outs & planting slow cars. People add benches, hang out, share drinks. The street becomes an extension of home - a social space, not a shortcut. This is what neighbourhoods should feel like

🎬 The arts aren’t a luxury - they’re an export.
At #Lab25, @aiannucci.bsky.social reminds us that the UK’s Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy and 7% of our workforce - the GDP equivalent of oil + car industries combined.

I'm sure if Trump or Vance heard this they would explode and ban the BBC ,(maybe doing the banning before the exploding if they were thinking rationally).

Since it's hardly found as #pigment in nature, the colour #blue is believed to be a rather modern addition to our painting kits.

Most university 'crisis' narratives miss the real problem. Yes, tuition is high. But the deeper issue? We've turned education into job training instead of citizen preparation. Democracy needs critical thinkers, not just skilled workers. #criticalthinking #highered #academicsky

Southern Water applies for permission to draw water from rare chalk stream
Environment secretary urged to stop drought order that could damage the ecology of River Test in Hampshire
