Quietly wondering about things... mostly in Exeter.

@sharrond62 It's like where you grew up in Plymstock. 15 minute walk to the library, GP, PO, shops in Elburton & Plymstock. Or drive further afield if you choose to.
Not like being stuck out in Sherford before any services in place
Get it?

I’m so not up for 15 min communities. It will not work for families with active kids doing all sorts of activities. And whilst the little people get to live confined with little choice those in the WEF fly in their jets & on their yachts telling ‘ the people’ to reduce their lives. Who voted for these globalists?

"Would you be happy sharing, not owning, a car?" The WEF: "The Netherlands is building a neighbourhood where every car must be shared. There'll be one vehicle for every three homes, and no space for privately owned cars." "Residents will be encouraged to cycle, use public transport, or borrow from a pool of shared cars... And everything that residents need will be within walking distance." So, in response to the WEF's question, WOULD you be happy sharing, not owning, a car? 🤔

@j_mad89 @grocer_on_green @countcaspargh Leader of Exeter council Phil Bialyk manoeuvred himself into HATOC & lead removal of safe streets, saying "I'm just one person".
Not delivering on city or county agreed policies.
Political cowardice.
No leadership on even the smallest steps needed for #climatechange #roadsafety

Whilst Exeter revels in abandoning its only LTN. Bath, with around 40k people less than Exeter is launching it's 11th LTN.
One of these west country cities is transforming to suit its residents, the other is sticking it head in the sand pursuing antiquated transport planning.
English
@aw_bell @devon_blossom @NOT_HWTLN @frankum_ian Ian F opposed the measures "as the LTN was in place". Those who followed his lead might expect their objections to be rightly discounted now the LTN's been removed.

⚠️@frankum_ian misinformation alert!
He's been sharing this chart on FB claiming "despite 71% [saying] they were AGAINST the 12 hour [bus lane] option [DCC] proceeded to propose it."
Er, actually more were in favour of a 12 hour lane than reduced hours. 1/2

I'd like to think my friends weren't so ignorant but

@ExeterStreets We shouldn't have to assume. As a Councillor for the area, who promised to be responsive & act on pollution, surely she should be explaining her views. Perhaps she isn't Independent at all, but instead dependent on what her Promoter thinks she should say.
English
@ThinkingMummy We have seen Cllr Haigh speak with real passion on both AQ & easy travel for elderly & disabled people. So, assume wld be supportive.
There is, of course, a 30 min parking issue here too. Luckily, there is free Blue Badge parking at Gordon's Place <100 metres away.

Good to see local politicians speaking up for better buses 👍
Exeter Lib Dems@ExeterLibDems
@DevonCC is consulting on improvements to four bus corridor areas in the city: devon.gov.uk/roads-and-tran… Better bus infrastructure not only improves the reliability of buses, it also improves blue light response times, taxi costs, and cycling safety.

Child safety zones.
I give it 24 hours before the naysayers reply saying children should only be in parks.
Adam Reynolds@awjre
Locally this makes so much sense. Ward councillors would have a much much harder time making arguments against Child Safety Zones. Opposing Low Traffic Neighbourhoods doesn't really show them in a bad light. Nice one @Chris_Boardman

Women are thinking about this all the time.
Men haven't noticed. Aren't registering. They don't even know her name.
Say her name.
Gisele Pelicot.
Aja ♀️🇬🇧@AjaTheEmpress
I can't stop thinking about how many other women this might be happening to worldwide. How many women think they are going mad due to the drug side effects? How many women are living with STDs they have no clue about? When I climb into bed at night I know I'm safe, I know my partner would never hurt me. They will be many women out there who can't say the same. I know it's not all men but how do women know which ones it is. 50 years she was with him and he did this to her. mirror.co.uk/news/world-new…

Of course 20mph limits will be set where some drivers think the "aren't needed". That's why we have speed limits and they are set for the good of society as a whole rather than the preferences of individual drivers.

Didn't Councillor @philbialyk say exactly this to the highways committee (HATOC), while halting progress on sustainable travel? All this while leader of Exeter city council.
"I'm just one man".

@weareyellowdot This. Over and over. About all of the things.

Such a shame that Exeter councillors bottled it.

'Former Transport Secretary Mark Harper was humiliated when a study intended to prove LTNs were hated showed they were popular and effective; reduced driving; had limited adverse impacts on boundary roads; and didn't adversely affect emergency services'. theguardian.com/environment/bi…

About no. 15 in the thread... "Look for times when people's lives are disrupted and GO IN HARD to encourage change at this point."
DCC did virtually no comms before, during or after the Heavitree & Whipton AST. Is that one reason why it failed?

@philbialyk @countcaspargh @steve_race @ExeterCouncil Hi Phil, as a newly-appointed member of HATOC you voted to stop the Active Steets Trial. Other @ExeterCouncil members, who you lead, also sit in HATOC and have voting rights, so you are part of the decision-making process here. Caspar is right ask you about on this vital issue.

@philbialyk @countcaspargh @steve_race @ExeterCouncil Take some leadership! Stop trying to shift the blame away from you. You voted to scrap a safe streets scheme, and voted to stop a plan for a slight extension in bus lane times.
You lead the party with a majority on that committee, and majority of your party voted with you!

Perhaps @steve_race will be now be able to stop @philbialyk and @ExeterCouncil from being so damn lilly livered and build a cycling & walking network suitable for people in our fantastic city.
