🚨 What should Wisbech do with £20 million? A major community consultation has revealed what local people really want from the Government's Pride in Place funding. The verdict? Safer streets, better transport, more opportunities for young people and action to tackle empty shops are top of the list. We've taken a deep dive into the findings and what they could mean for the future of the town. 👇 Read the full story. #Wisbech #Fenland #PrideInPlace #WisbechNews cambsnews.co.uk/20m-to-save-…

This bullshit project from Herts County Council isn’t about connectivity: it’s about cost cutting. This crap needs to be challenged. “Trackless trams” are not trams: they’re BUSES. Bouncing bendy buses stuck halfway in traffic; and take away tracks & you take away fixed links.

For the avoidance of doubt, I’m not knocking buses. Buses are great and I think we need a LOT more of them. But claiming they’re something else (especially under the guise of a supposed upgrade) is not light rapid transit, it’s bustitution.

The Minsmere marshes in the foreground were deliberately flooded during WWII to deter a German invasion. Now an RSPB reserve, they lie north of Sizewell, whose nuclear power stations are visible further down the Suffolk coast. Photographed from 4500ft #Minsmere #Sizewell #Aerial
