Not sure i am very hopefully of change. Taking nearly 10years to get a zebra crossing outside a school. Let’s see.

A privilege to hear @FigenMurray speaking today at a preventing crime partnerships conference. Amazing personal drive to make it safer for people at event venues. Only hope @ukhomeoffice produces guidance asap so Martyn’s Law can be implemented without delay. @selectamark

Full steam ahead! Portishead Railway Line gets final green light! 🚂 After 25 years of campaigning and 60 years of waiting, the Secretary of State for Transport has given the final sign-off on the Portishead and Pill Railway Line with trains projected to run by 2027.
Pleased to see proposed Metrobus extension further into South Bristol. As originally intended to support communities and access to jobs etc. @metrobusBristol
One Metrobus service could be extended next year beyond its current final stop bristol247.com/news-and-featu…
Great to hear @LabourSJ highlighting the importance of construction safety at a @ConstructionCLC summit in London this morning. @hireassociation committed to our SafeHire private standard to enhance hire & rental safety.
Interesting solution to rail station accessibility barriers. Might this be an option to finally resolve Parson St access? @FoPSRS @WestofEnglandCA @GWRHelp @networkrail

Wonder if the former police dogs and horses site in Bower Ashton might be suitable. No residential use permitted and now a large derelict building on extensive semi-rural site @Bristol_ARC bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Glad this damaging policy change is being reversed. But could have been easily avoided by reclaiming from higher tax payers + the existing route to pay back unwanted allowances to HMRC. Wondering if these options were part of the options mix last year?
💥NEW: A MASSIVE reversal of the winter fuel cut. ALL pensioners with income £35k or less set to receive WFA this year. That’s 9m - 3/4 - of all pensioners at cost of £1.25bn. Govt will save £450m on means testing > Size of reversal reflective of the scale of misstep
Interesting piece about latest generation of trams - avoiding excavation & moving utilities under tracks - both massive extra costs which have blocked many a tram/light rail aspiration in the past-including Bristol’s! theguardian.com/world/2025/jun…
As @BristolCouncil are painting cycle lanes red, can they find some white paint for the overdue zebra crossing outside the school on Luckwell Road? We agreed it as a community priority, found the £, did the consultation etc…but still waiting bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
A victory that was hard fought and hard won. A victory that involved every part of society. 80 years on, we salute the extraordinary generation that liberated our continent and ensured that we, the generations that followed, can continue to live in peace. #VEDay80
