In 2007, Zoran Janković, the mayor of Ljubljana, was slapped and mobbed by protesters for proposing to make downtown car-free. It’s been so wildly successful that a recent survey of city residents showed that 97% of residents supported keeping the streets car-free.

Went for a mini-stakeout off the woods over the burn from the bottom of our field, looking for Red Squirrels. None of them, but I’ll take a first Kingfisher seen here as a consolation. Fleeting but unmistakable.

📰 The May 2022 edition of the Burgh Buzz, Burntisland's free quarterly magazine, will soon be distributed to the community - and is now available to read online: burghbuzz.org.uk/issues/22-0… It's a bumper 28 page issue covering all the local news and events ahead of the summer.

Like so many public plazas across the Netherlands, De Plaats in The Hague was once filled with parked cars. The historic nature of these cities did not preclude them from succumbing to the automobile. But critically, they've spent the past few decades correcting those mistakes.

Given the noise coming from the western approach road some evenings drivers must think that dual carriageway = 70mph
It doesn’t matter if you think the speed limit is wrong. A fixed penalty notice for speeding could mean a £100 fine & 3 points on your licence. If you end up in court, fines can be up to £2,500 & you could lose your licence. Read more ⬇️ roadsafety.scot/topics/speed…

Also, Cluny Gardens is a disgrace. Because it is long and straight, drivers think they should be able to overtake, but the oncoming traffic & parked cars make it impossible. so they get frustrated. But why is there uncontrolled parking? almost all the houses have private drives.

Very sorry I was in a meeting until 1pm and dropped down at lunchtime, but all wrapped up. Glad it was a success!

Our eldest has just started at Roseburn primary and I've only seen two cars at drop off/ pick up time which is somewhat astounding. It helps that most people have a ride across the park to get there i guess.
