“Oxford Street disorder: Braverman wants culprits hunted down”. My take: Invest in public swimming pools, well run youth clubs, community centres, mental health programmes, summer activities. Care for youth. Cost of inaction greater than cost of action. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lo…

Oxford Street disorder: Suella Braverman wants culprits to be hunted down

The kind of lawlessness seen in some US cities must not be allowed here, the home secretary says.

Delighted to have agreement to take these regeneration frameworks forward to consultation starting next week. These four areas of the city centre have a big role to play in its regeneration and recovery and I look forward to everyone having their say on the proposed projects.

This week I’ll be asking @GlasgowCC to approve consultation on transformative District Regeneration Frameworks for the north and east of our city centre. These frameworks include bold ideas & actions to improve areas from Cowcaddens to the Merchant City. heraldscotland.com/news/2323…

Glasgow districts regeneration plans are revealed

They are the final pieces of the jigsaw which has seen areas of Glasgow regenerated and developed to breathe new life into parts of the city while creating a long term strategy.

Another party political broadcast by a millionaire. Looks like ITV is on my banned list now. Talk about football Gary and keep your nose out of politics. You don't know what you're talking about.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath fastcompany.com/3062989/50-r…

Quick Highway Code refresher for everyone but particularly the driver who told me to ‘watch where I’m going’ today: if you’re turning into a road, you have to give way 🛑 to the pedestrians who are crossing that road, not the other way round. #RoadSafetyWeek 😘
Highway Code: new priorities for pedestrians. Drivers, motorcyclists and cyclists must give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which they are turning. They should give way to pedestrians waiting to cross or crossing a zebra crossing … and to pedestrians and cyclists crossing or waiting to cross a parallel crossing. PA Graphic.
