Today’s @TheScotsman features pictures of 103 men and 33 woman. Is that not astounding?

Swifts are on the red list and partly because we are pointing up all the wee gaps and crevices that they like to nest in at high level. Sign to support debate to make it law for all new houses to include a Swift box https://t.co/PxDWMA01gc @WriterHannahBT

10 seconds to sign a petition to help protect the Swift.

The papers talk a good game but this @guardian sport section picture score is Male 26 - Female 2. Bit of an #owngoal.

Today marks the start of #PrestonStreetPrimarySchool's next campaign phase to improve our playground facilities & to further engage with other stakeholders regarding improvements to #ActiveTravel & #SpacesForPeople around school & connecting to the wider city.#Edinburgh #LEZ 1/5

Wester Hailes Growing Communities were out with @calumdarchitect yesterday consulting with local residents on more detailed proposals for a new 'Greenway Community Hub'. Lots of support for making this happen and remembering how things were in decades past. Excellent discussions

I then led a consultation event with some locals around the Greenway. That was a hoot! #resilientcommunities #westerhailes @edibleestatesedinburgh @stallanbrand @insideatkins @upioneers

3. In the details, the twists and turns are far from the organic pattern you might find in the medieval old town for example. Difficult to be social or friendly in these kind of nooks.

1. I hadn’t realised how much higher W H is compared to Sighthill. It appears like a hill top town as approached from the North. 2.The main roads around WH are somewhat like a moat around this hill fort. It is very nearly impenetrable cycling or walking from Sighthill into WH.

Shining in the early evening light, but there sure are some awkward corners in Wester Hailes. I cycled from central Edinburgh, attempting to meander through Sighthill, and was struck by both geography and the urban design (both roads and paths).

Thanks for sharing this Oslo Street design manual. This diagram of mobility certainly sets the tone.

We’re getting involved in #ScotClimateWeek, which is taking place this week. Collectively we can work to reduce our emissions to net zero and help create a climate ready Scotland. Visit https://t.co/LycHNO7Xii for more information.
