A chance to recover from the summer, the "summer" and the summer holidays. Down at #ReasideForestGarden #BalsallHeath this morning.

Just heard from a school in London that protested with our pop-up zebra crossing last year. Lo and behold, they now have a permanent crossing of their very own 🦓❤️ The moral of the story is if you shout loudly enough...

'Children living in ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) Nearly four times as likely to switch to walking and cycling compared with those outside the zone.' Wow bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

13 motorists have just ignored a red light on the Pershore Road…THIRTEEN! 😡 When can we expect to hear some plans for meaningful action on response to this road safety ‘emergency’ Bham City Council called over a month ago?

After today's Planning Committee, we went on a site visit to Birmingham's zero carbon house (in Balsall Heath) to learn about how architects can build or retrofit homes fit for the future. Huge thanks to John for showing us around!
