Had this idea in lockdown, half-built it, forgot about it, remembered it again, though might as well finish it.

This from Shrewsbury's Residents Association traffic policy. How did people cope before cars?! I for one can't sleep without my passing traffic security blanket.

Very grateful that Powys/the Welsh Government decided a year ago to provide Sunday buses to Montgomery. Makes getting home with the baby so much easier. But it is hilarious that Monty (pop 1,200) has a bus every 2hrs, while just across the border Shrewsbury (pop 76,000) has no Sunday buses at all.

I've spent some of my summer trying to map some of Shropshire's Quiet Lanes on OpenStreetMap. A 2003 CPRE report suggests that there were 25 QL roads planned for Salop so I'm probably missing a few.🧵

🚨 BREAKING: The Government will shortly issue an emergency alert to all phones in England and Wales warning them not to light anything that can cause a wildfire

I made an animation which shows the effects of air pollution on pedestrians waiting to cross the road, along with what can be done to reduce its harmful effects: stepback.gregdev.com Thank you to @ianwalker.bsky.social for the inspiration for doing so during a conversation a couple of weeks' back!

Controversial opinion but closing this park & ride isn't a big loss. Less than 10 minutes to drive to Oxon P&R. The "walk on" service is expensive and inconvenient. Takes a weird long route into town on Saturdays. Biggest issue is if they stop using it for the football parking.

Major problem in the UK is that we really don't build *apartments* outside of major cities. We are desperately in love with sprawl, unnavigable suburbs, and car dependency. Most homes do not need to be the UK standard "tiny shitty semi detached" pattern.

New solar lighting going up along this shared path in Shrewsbury💡

Batman knows what's up. 1/

New route into this retail park replacing a muddy desire path.🎉The old official way was over 400 meters further.

Active travel saves the NHS at least £54 million a year just in Liverpool alone. Other regions especially the north east need to sit up, take note and ramp up their efforts. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Shropshire Council deputy leader has confirmed that the Castle Street two way cycleway (in red) has being axed from Shrewsbury's Station Gyratory changes. Disappointing but not entirely surprised, the project seemed to be a bit of a hot mess. Lets do it properly next time.

Great to see #CargoBikes in a town so suited to #Micromobility #Shrewsbury 😀 @menshrews.bsky.social

Six things I like about Cambridge’s new Eddington district: why it's a good example that other developments should follow.

Keep your 👀 on #Shrewsbury UK #ActiveTravel people. ❤️⚡📦🚲 Something's occurring.....

I believe this is Shropshire's first bike traffic light

I've been looking at my photos and this is by far my favourite: children cycling with heavy goods vehicles. This is why we do it.

New festoon lighting in #Shrewsbury✨

Kinda nice to see my local council using Open Street Map for some of its maps, especially when I can see some of the changes I've made make an appearance. Not so cool that they've failed to properly attribute OSM contributors in any of its images.

This new road got approved yesterday. It doesn't have a cycle path along it because the application is for "enabling infrastructure". Committee discussed when active travel provision should actually be defined with no apparent precedence set.
