A “road diet” is when the number of lanes on a road are reduced to improve safety for people driving, walking, and biking alike, while also providing space for different forms of transportation.
Send us a road that could use a diet!

Have you ever wondered why some cities are just so much nicer than others?
Well, it's probably because they have good "Third Places."
What is a Third Place? It's wherever you go when you're not at home or at work...
Smiles all round at the first Welsh @BCorpUK social in Cardiff's @littlemancoffee
We've always believed in business as a force for good and we're proud to be part of a wider movement doing the same.
It's inspiring to connect with like-minded people
Can't wait for the next meetup!
Director @BenReynolds1977 & Principal Associate Amy Shephard delivered a #TheoryOfChange workshop for @futuregencymru last week. As a purpose-driven company & certified @BCorpUK our ethos aligns with the Act. We're excited & honoured to be supporting the next phase of development
