Hey @WorldBollard have you seen this? Actual cannon bollards in the City of London! I mean, we knew they were there, but great to have photos! Bollardollogy (the book onCoL bollards shop.cityoflondon.gov.uk/pro… ) has these as captured French cannons
Glad to hear The Cally Liveable Neighbourhood is going ahead. Really excited about the improvements to Rufford - Carnoustie St. it’s a great route to Kings X. Hopefully a safer cycle crossing of Caledonian Rd will come in the future. letstalk.islington.gov.uk/th…
Some actual holes in the ground today. This will be the kerb bump out + rain garden. It will be nice to have a larger outdoor space by the pub!
Replacement playground for St Jude St Gardens finally underway. The old equipment was quite dated, so this will be a nice upgrade!
Amazing rugby tonight. Both games were well played. I was fortunate to see last weeks AUS ENG game as well, which was an insane ending. No points for guessing where my wife comes from (the kids were not given a choice)
These are great, but I’m struggling to understand why only one has a Santander bike station. Why have @TfL and the boroughs completely given up on expansion of the system? The private shared bikes are fine, but massively overpriced compared to the TfL bikes.
We're proposing 6 new Green Mobility Hubs in Kentish Town. Places for you to easily access greener ways to travel like hire bikes/scooters & car clubs plus areas of plants all in one place🌻 Find out more on what we are proposing and have your say at camden.gov.uk/consultation

First signs of the Mildmay Liveable neighbourhood have shown up! New island configuration and a kerb bump out by the pub. Work starts officially on the 18th! @MacLondon

It's our AGM live tonight from #PemburyCommunity centre! Our exisiting coordinator @garmonap is giving a quick appraisal of our work this year. Live tweet 🧵
This is awesome! I love the new public space made out of what is currently a sea of asphalt. Fun fact, St John St is so wide there because there used to be a courthouse in the middle of the road. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hick….

The Hill of Hysteria
Why do changes to our urban environment generate so much anxiety & hostility even though we know the present status quo is failing us?

London needs to pull its finger out and do this for the congestion zone with a pedestrianised centre area in SoHo / Covent Garden.
🏙️ The City Centre Movement and Access Tranche 2 consultation is now live, until Mon 18 Nov.
As we transform the city centre into an attractive place to live, work, visit, and do business, it is essential that we free up space previously allocated to private vehicles🚗 1/2

These Shaftbury Ave plans looking pretty good. Segregated lanes and Dutch entry kerbs. Hopefully Westminster will pull their finger out and do something on their end. consultations.wearecamden.or…
Eager to see this implemented! Thanks to Islington for the intensive public engagement. Obviously excited about the the traffic filtering, but I really think the safety improvements at the pedestrian crossings around Newington Green will be a huge game changer.
We’ve spent two years listening to the community in Mildmay to understand the changes they want to see – and we’re acting on what you’ve told us!
The area is now becoming Islington’s first liveable neighbourhood, making it greener and healthier. Find out more ⬇️ (1/3)
