Went to see a film tonight. Adverts before were a UN kids film begging for action against climate change followed by adds for cars and flights to foreign holidays. We are still in a state of deep denial.

It's devastating to see the impact extreme weather is having on Scottish farmers.

The climate crisis is happening now! ⚠️

Farmers must receive the support they need to tackle climate change and build resilience to increasingly more likely heavy rain. ⬇️ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This is rather terrifying in Causewayside. At least there’s a cone now. The day before it was just a metal death trap in the cycle lane. Why doesn’t the cycle path go all the way from Summerhall to Kings Buildings? Cycle Law Scotland Living Streets Edinburgh The City of Edinburgh Council edi.bike | weekly news digest

📣 Great news! Abandoned bicycles across Scotland’s railway network are to be given a new lease of life. We're introducing a policy that will see unclaimed bikes left at our stations renewed or recycled. They'll be donated to cycling charity Cycling UK. 🚲♻️

John Robson Edinburgh Council Help Spokes CycleCampaign Katrina Faccenda Chas Booth 🇪🇺🇺🇦 'Bus lanes will generally be constructed with coloured
surfacing...which will continue through side road junctions and crossings (although statutory markings will not).'
It would also be good if CEC kept on top of utilities, who consistently fail to reinstate it after roadworks.
