You what! They’ve reconfigured the wall of parked cars and introduced some pedestrian crossings. Scandalous @LiamFox @iainastewart
You cannot be serious!! Showing @iainastewart MP, Chair of the @HouseofCommons Transport Committee, what the anti-Conservative coalition at North Somerset Council have done to Clevedon seafront. #NorthSomerset

If this is such a waste of money and a safety risk why did the @Conservatives own @activetraveleng give the green light on funding? I’m personally enjoying the improved pedestrian access including being able to cross the road more safely with my young family
I’m pleased to have secured an Adjournment Debate in the @HouseofCommons tomorrow on Clevedon Seafront. North Somerset Council’s plans for the seafront are a huge waste of money, are a safety risk, and serve only to create problems that did not previously exist. #NSomerset

As trivial as it may seem, Another nail in the coffin? @Twitter
Twitter is closing its doors to hobby bots like this one. They tell us a week before this happens. There's been a lot of measured, well-mannered commentary from other makers of Twitter bots. I thought I'd share my uncensored thoughts instead. Fuck this. 1/?

Let’s just overlook the current lack of dedicated pedestrian crossings and the fact that cars currently have to to reverse blindly out of bays into on coming traffic.
Overlooking North Somerset Council’s plans for Clevedon seafront, it is clear that the changes being made will cause major risks to public safety. The whole thing has been the worst thought out program I have known in my 30 years as an MP for #NorthSomerset
Low levels of unemployment is good, but let’s not ignore the impact of the current recruitment climate. Nurseries closing, bus timetables reduced & shortage of HGV drivers etc. Meanwhile the cost of living continues to rise and use of food banks remains high. @LiamFox
Unemployment is down to its lowest rate since 1974 at 3.7%, while job vacancies are the highest they’ve ever been. These figures are welcome as getting people into work will help them ease cost of living pressures.
I’d argue we ‘destroyed our seafront’ when it became a car park. While the proposals aren’t perfect, it is a step in the right direction. I know where I’d rather visit. @LiamFox @NorthSomersetC #clevedon
Huge numbers joined the protest on a cold and windy January day against North Somerset Councils plans to destroy our seafront with a cycle lane that is neither needed, wanted, nor a good use of scarce resources. Sign the petition against these plans 👇
Any good recommendations for podcasts and audiobooks? Looking for a good distraction.

Cornwall out of season: quiet roads, empty car parks, moody sky’s. All with the same picturesque harbour towns, stunning stretches of coast line and family adventures.

.@ClevedonPierG1 Was this ever attempted successfully? How good would it be to do something like this again? @cameronballoons @DiscovClevedon
A treasure trove of old press cuttings has been donated to @ArchiveClevedon Ever wondered whether it's possible to fly a hot air balloon off the Pier or why there is Jordanian sand on Clevedon beach? Look no further! @cameronballoons @bristolballoon

A great evening learning the boards in the Velodrome. 🚴🏼‍♂️
Does anyone use @Strava Summit? Is it worth the upgrade? #ukrunchat #cycling

The good old days. #NUFC
Did you know⁉️ Newcastle United are the only team to have progressed past the group stage after losing their first 3⃣ games. The historic comeback began with this Andy Griffin goal v @juventusfc #OnThisDay in 2002. Remember it, #NUFC fans? #UCL @NUFC

Take a moment and think just how many plastic bottles have been produced and thrown away since this one was washed away 47 years ago. Scary. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-so…
