I have been trying to cancel my @virginmedia account since Oct last year. They just ignore me, you can't get through on the phone but they're very prompt with letters from debt collectors chasing bills . Does anyone have any tips about how to cancel a Virgin Media account?

🚫 I was turned away from the Royal Academy—for bringing a folded bike. 📉 Context: visitor numbers at the RA are still around 50% below 2019 (622k vs. 1.25 M). Folding bikes are compact, clean, and part of the Net Zero transport solution. ✅ If the RA wants to boost footfall, cut carbon, and improve access, they should allow folded bikes alongside luggage and buggies and train staff on accommodating active travellers.

Grilled by Merlin Fulcher on the Open City podcast about recent Government announcements & today's likely amendments to the NPPF, I give a shout-out for Angela Raynor's go-getting approach but am less convinced about the ability to deliver the number of homes needed. bit.ly/3VDbAnw
Dangerous junction to be opened up to black cabs again as trial details agreed mylondon.news/news/transport…
Did you discuss Bank Junction?
Great to host former NYC Transport Commissioner @JSadikKhan & @BloombergAssoc team in London this week.
We visited the West End to discuss @MayorofLondon’s ambitious plans for Oxford Street and driving growth, jobs & economic prosperity.

How will this work if the City decide to allow taxis to use Bank Junction during the day?
With more bikes than cars in @cityoflondon, the proposed new cycle route from Aldgate to Blackfriars will connect key destinations with the London's expanding cycle network - including links between Cycleways 2, 3 and 6. 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲

Insightful and inspiring lecture from @PGSMurray which I was disappointed to miss in person. Lovely to see a reference to our #HolesToHomes proposal to transform London's golf courses into affordable homes, too!

There is no path to improving public health without moving the dial on active travel.
England's Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty speaking about the health benefits of active travel at #ActiveCity2024 yesterday:
@CMO_England #HappierHealthierGreener 🚲👩🦽🚶🛴
ALT Quote card featuring a picture of Professor Chris Whitty alongside a statement in which he says: “The health benefits of active travel cannot be overstated. People will live much longer happier lives … if they can have active transport and we can make it attractive enough. It's very clear that exercise is going to improve the health outcomes, both physical and mental, for very large numbers of people - virtually everybody is going to benefit from doing more exercise than they do.”
Get in the Olympic mood. Temple Bar. Tomorrow, Mon July 22. 6.30pm. Gustafson Porter Bowman have delivered a major landscaping scheme which centres on the Eiffel Tower. Mary Bowman will talk about the project. bit.ly/4f8LEYT
The lecture should be up on the NLA website soon.
Congrats to @Rob_Fiehn and @leannetritton on such a good @londonsoc year, reflected in buzz at the party. Is there a record of @PGSMurray lecture? Exploring past, present and future of Smithfield would be a good project.
