Too big for our streets: the harms of SUV use in Scottish cities - Transform Scotland Professor of Transport & Health at Napier University, Dr Adrian Davis, writes for Transform Scotland. “SUVs are now one of the biggest emerging threats to road safety in Scottish cities.”...

The textbook radical anti-car cyclists our culture despises

For a long time we’ve been asking for redundant BT phone kiosks (not the traditional red ones) to be removed. We have now received a list from Edinburgh Council of 133 sites where the phones box should be gone.
