The dangerous roads and impossible cycling situation here were literally the reasons why we didn't choose to send our child to the lovely Hotwells School - the idea of cycling to and from there twice a day was too risky. Speed limits and provision for cyclists are badly needed here.

yes, but I can't find many people, here....
Twitter and Bluesky are both pretty quiet, which is a shame. Twitter was once really useful and arguably, democratic.

I wanted to see how much Banks knows about Bristol public transport ๐Ÿ˜‚ and why he spends so much time with Trump. The chair repeatedly made his red card warning of rule breaking.
