Until 10th October to make a submission on the Blackpool (River Bride) Flood Relief Scheme which will concrete over the last stretch of river in Blackpool. This over-engineering would have been out-dated in the 1980s never mind 2025 (Image @saveourbrideotters.bsky.social )

If he had owed money for almost any other reason he might have got away with. The toxic behaviour of many of his fellow landlords, amplified by a power imbalance caused by the housing crisis is what did it. #aras25

Worth taking a look at the previous submissions (available at the link) to see what issues arose last time out. Interesting to see the variety of viewpoints.

Unfortunately, we've had to cancel tomorrow's tree tour due to the forecasted poor weather. Hopefully we'll squeeze one in before the winter.

Planning permission for 18 apartments. The big site further up the street is in the hands of Cork City Council. Given the housing crisis, the council have sat on it for a decade.

It is next to Neptune but it's not the open site visible from GG Street. It's a site further down....this one

Thanks to @irishexaminer.bsky.social for featuring some images of the UCC Arboretum to highlight our upcoming tree tour. We are now full up but you can pop your details on the waiting list and you might get lucky. Keep an eye on the arboretum web page for more great events incoming. #Cork #UCCTrees

Vaccines, panadol, climate, common sense...it's been a big week for Trumpian anti-science bullsh*t.

President Trump questioned the UN’s mission on Tuesday in a meandering speech before the General Assembly. Boasting about his record and assailing the UN as ineffective, he sought to portray himself as the only leader who could solve the world’s problems. nyti.ms/4gzwIUM
