Sustainable travel is my thing. Pedestrians, cycling, public transport. Our Council is extremely car-centric and has poor track record on delivering active travel options. CEC = Cheshire East Council. Green Party Member. Cycling UK local rep.

Children's park bulldozed after villagers sued over 'noisy' football

The games area in the Memorial Park in Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire first opened in 2010 after a community fundraising campaign, but has now been demolished after years of legal battles.

On the plus side they do mention the bus. That's a rare thing for businesses to do in my experience.

I saw a cyclist go through a red light once.

It's a mystery. They clearly don't feel being too closely associated with Labour is a positive thing. Maybe it's not just about the green things? They used to espouse social justice.

Well done for keeping Labour in your BS profile. Locally, Labour Councillors seem to be removing any mention of Labour in their Social profiles. I wonder why? Maybe they are considering joining the Greens?

Our neighbours have 20mph - when can we have this in Cheshire East? @cheshire-east.bsky.social

20's Plenty for Us @20splenty.bsky.social · 11h

It's good to see 20mph being the norm across the whole city. Yet another place that is saying #20splenty where people are.

Council chiefs name next Manchester area where speed limits will be cut to 20mph

It's part of a wider drive to reduce deaths and injuries on Manchester's roads

Pleased to see CEC is raising the ironworks along Birtles Road after micro surfacing. Good job CEC!

A lot of these well meaning interventions never appear to include any long term evaluation of their impact.

She is indeed doing a great job; if you're not a Tory supporter.

By using that "free" app you are enabling EM to make more advertising revenue. Sure it's peanuts compared to buying a car but it all helps him.

Knutsford discussion about a Town Master Plan. The main thing is traffic problems but they appear to lack the vision and leadership to actually do anything significant.

Annoyed, irritated, inconvenienced by the year-long (and counting) bustitution for Northern Rail’s Sunday train service for Congleton?

Show your displeasure at a photoshoot Sun 5 Oct 10.30am at the station. Organised by town cllrs and Richard Eadie who is campaigning for an improvement.

One one round here was a year ISTR.

There's discussion about a new bus service in Macc to be linked to a potential new development in the same way. The funds for these services are time-limited so don't get too excited.

It's been "opening soon" for several months. Windows all obscured. What's going on?

Macc Sustainable Travel @fhvjhvgvb.bsky.social · 5d

This restaurant in Macc has never opened. That's really odd. And it's got 5 star reviews - that's even more odd.
