Great demo of Ohmio self-driving shuttle. Thanks to Barnes Hammermith Electric Light Transit group - for organising. @LBRUT is keen to explore prospect of such vehicles working on Hammersmith Bridge - subject to @LBHF weight restrictions. Public transport, so desperately needed!

👴:'Why are children these days not playing outside anymore like we did when we were young?'
🤷: Yeah, a true mystery...

Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape… (VO by @gavinesler. Parts 2 & 3 below👇)

Super proud to roll this programme (first in the UK as far as we know) across the borough. Lack of dedicated parking at key designations is a major concern for potential cargo bike users so these bays will go a long way to address this. #CargoBikes
🚲🅿️ We’ve introduced 4 new cargo bike parking bays near destinations for young families including;
▪️ Wellesley Road play area
▪️ Ashburnham Road
▪️ Lowther Primary School
▪️ Barnes Montessori Nursery
And we have more planned! #CarFreeDay

If you want to see just how badly people were lied to during the Brexit referendum, take a look at this actual Leave video.
Our lived reality has played out exactly the opposite to how post-Brexit life is portrayed in this nonsensical piece of propaganda.

Even I'm bored of pointing this out, but British politics broke when Brexit lies were presented by almost all of the British media as an equal & opposite counterpoint to reality, gravity, evidence & expertise. None of it can be fixed until the idiocy of Brexit is acknowledged.

So many street parties across Barnes today (thank you @LBRUT). Residents so keen to come together and quiet roads offer the prefect environment for people to connect, relax and enjoy while children get a real taste of life before car became king. #LiveableNeighbourhood – at Richmond, London

Unfortunately the @BCA4Barnes city shuttle @cityshuttleuk wasn’t able to get to Barnes this morning but look what @_wearepossible brought with them! Can this be the solution for the much needed public transport across #HammersmithBridge?! @StephenCowan @Gareth_Roberts_ @SebDance – at Richmond, London
