Poster with a blue background. Yellow stars sit to the left of a title of "Participants needed" And a yellow cresent moon shape sits to the right. A box sits directly below the title with the text "Womens experiences cycling at night and the impact of cycling infrastructure" Below this two boxes of equal size sit side by side. The first has a title "About the research" then text "There is a gender gap withing cycling in the UK and it is furthered during night-time and dark hours. This research aims to understand the experiences of women cycling at night and the infrastructural barriers that lead to the underrepresentation." The box to the right has the title "What's Required" and the text " The research involbes a 40 minute interview discussing cycling experiences, sketching the ideal cycling infrastructure and emotionally responding to images of cycling infrastructure from around Newcastle" Directly below these boxes is a box with the title "who can get involved" and the text " you are eligble to take part if you are a woman who cycles and has experience cycling at night within Newcastle-upon-Tyne. A final box has the title "contact and info" with the text "if you're interested in participating and are eligble, please get in touch.

Are you a woman who cycles at night in Newcastle or has before?
A student from Newcastle Uni is looking to hear about your experiences as part of the research for their dissertation.
It would involve a 40 minute interview about your experiences

I spoke to a tenant today whose experience with her landlord brought tears to my eyes. I can still be shocked by the snide and nasty unnecessary things said by some landlords 😕
I'm so envious of those who can drag and drop emails into their database chronologies.
So very useful, thank you
👋 my job is legitimately a lot of fun, although I take it very seriously, every day is amusing, entertaining and has something to learn 👍
Rogue landlords with live laugh love content on your socials 🙄
Local authorities who are desperate for housing enf staff need to start by reviewing some of these JDs they use
The task is now far too wide and there will be few people capable (let alone willing) to meet the requirements you're asking for. Some Lhas get zero applications from ads.
Shout out to all the local government officers working in West London right now. A very difficult day for many of you.
I don't think elected members know that legal depts dont authorise officers to do what elected members think is essential work. If you're an elected member with housing responsibility do make sure you ask the question? Are the officers authorised?
No one ever talks about the owner occupiers, another referral in, a 70 year old this week with no roof no water no gas no electricity and broken glazing.
Monday morning, raring to go! BUT I already have spent 2 hours dealing with matters which are absolutely not about housing safety and standards.
Even when I'm not working the tribulations of my caseload fill my mind.
It’s in the post! Landlord wins key eviction case over docs delivery thenegotiator.co.uk/news/regulat...
This week so far I've already been given 6 new cases and closed none. Swamped already.
This is how privatization always ends up under the “new public management” cult - public service facilities run by hedge funds and vulture capitalists, extracting the maximum ‘rents’ from us, the taxpayers. www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/market...
“It’s shameful that the Conservatives have tried to block our plans to end to no-fault evictions and more quality homes in the private rented sector - in a huge blow to 11 million renters across the country. “After 14 years of dither and delay from the Tories in government, it’s left to this Labour government to stand up for renters – who are desperate for security in their homes. “This Labour Government is delivering our Plan for Change, with landmark new protections for renters and 1.5 million more homes across this parliament.”
The Conservatives voted against the Third Reading of the Renters’ Rights Bill tonight.
A Labour spokesperson responds:
Six social rent bungalows with adaptions for disabled people on a patch of tarmac.
Who could object to that?
Well apparently it has been “the centre of the community for generations.”
And the Green Party don’t like it either.

Revisit completed. One category2 hazard now fixed, now there are 2 new category 2 hazards from 2 newly broken items. Readers, this is why cases take ages to close. Not all LHAs deal with category 2 hazards.
So what's my course of action? 🤨

If I didn't need a car for work I wouldn't buy one. No, most of us do not get essential car user allowance and in many councils this was withdrawn. I have to pay my own mileage.
