Four images of 10 years of transformation in Paris: 2016–2026.
@annehidalgo.bsky.social will no longer be mayor in March 2026, but this vision of a Paris for life must live on.
Cities are places of solidarity, kindness and well-being in an increasingly authoritarian and brutal world. We need it!
Nicely put👇
“It is even more vital that the government’s new plan recognises that social cohesion is made or lost in millions of everyday acts, and not just in moments of national celebration…”
Sizewell C is predicted to cost £38 billion.
For the same amount of money, you could install solar panels, heat pumps and batteries in 3 million homes.
That would generate energy locally, rather than put massive strains on an already overloaded grid.
Makes you think.
🙏
Congratulations to @theloopuk.bsky.social on the launch of London's first drug checking service. It took them 14 years to get permission. I wish govt would put harm reduction measures that save lives above the posturing that we can arrest our way out of the problem. wearetheloop.org/media-centre...
Let there be…..darkness.
Enjoy the sound of our Eurostar e300 (aka Class 373) slipping into the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone, as she has done daily for thirty odd years.
What we consider mundane and normal now, entering the Channel Tunnel, was once a revolution that changed Europe.
Definitely.
The view from Portishead Marina entrance across to Avonmouth.
It’s not very far between the mouth of the Avon and Portishead Dock, but it was one of the most scary Narrowboat journeys we have ever done.
There was a very slight swell!
Looking towards Portishead and the lifted railway track.
Looking towards Portbury and the lifted railway track.
The old railway track along the Portishead line is being lifted in preparation for laying new shiny ones.
Thank you @networkrail.bsky.social!

I was told this was impossible on Columbia Pike during an initial public meeting.

Oh, oh, the goats of Bristol
Two goats sheltering from the rain in a graffiti covered concrete ammunition store. Like all goats, they look enigmatic, as if they're plotting something.
The excellent goats whose job is to keep the vegetation down around the remains of the World War II anti-aircraft gun station on Purdown in Bristol.
A beagle lays on a carpet upon which is a potted plant that has been removed from its pot. Piles of dirt and an overturned white chair. It reads: @beagle_corner If you can't hide a crime scene, just pretend you are a victim

Can we now talk about building HS2 in full, releasing capacity on the existing rail network, getting more freight and passengers on it, and electrifying it to reducing it to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels?

I predict a Green wave in the local elections. Anyone who thinks our byelection win was an outlier is mistaken | Zack Polanski
This is why the Green position is no new nuclear. Like trees, the best time to build a nuclear power plant was 20 years ago. Unlike trees, the second best time doesn’t seem to be now.
Introducing by end of March a new approach in Northamptonshire.
We’ll target our Top 10 Most Wanted offenders and Top 100 most dangerous drivers using intel, ANPR & Live Facial Recognition to drive arrests, vehicle seizures, drugs and weapons off our streets.
Looking forward to sharing results!
They won't. They are going to get shafted. They are going to deserve it. And it's going to be hilarious.
Huge result for @greenparty.org.uk here in Stroud! 67%!
Means Greens stay leading the council.
Well done @stroudgreens.org.uk
Dancer at Bow Road London Underground station
I always feel like dancing when I get to the end of the week. Here's a fun shot of dancer Andreya looking like she's floating next to the hexagonal pillars at Bow Road London Underground station.
We've just hit 215,000 members.
More than 2,000 people a day have joined us since our historic win in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Come and be a part of the movement which is making hope normal again. Join us 👇
Congratulations @helenelliott-boult.bsky.social & @stroudgreens.org.uk!
That’s a massive re-election mandate!
I'm delighted with my heat pump.
But my experience getting it installed taught me what’s been stopping many more people from getting one (so far).
I wrote for @politicshome.bsky.social on the hurdles that government needs to think about as it implements the Warm Homes Plan. 👇
“The effort to quiet Paris complements the wider campaign to make Paris greener, cleaner & less car-dependent, which include vehicle restrictions in the center, crackdowns on polluting vehicles, & an ambitious expansion of bike networks. Those have cut the city’s average noise level by 2 decibels.”
The data is clear: walking and cycling are good for our health, for the public purse, and for our cityscapes.
That's why @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social continues to push for better active travel infrastructure across our whole city.
