I co-run Hero Records, I like food and socialism, so expect posts about all three. Oh, and about Kings Heath, the best part of Birmingham!

Before I start recording this evening's radio show (my best hip hop sevens, if anyone's interested), I want to talk about the phrase "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good", in the context of active travel. 🧵 1/n.

It's a good job induced demand isn't a thing. .
The first three increase congestion, pollution and undermine climate targets. The fourth is a transformative means of boosting regional productivity, access to opportunity, reducing congestion, improving air quality and a step towards turn up and go public transport.

I'll be doing a Panettone pop-up at Grace and James in Kings Heath again today, from about 1pm. Come get the best Panettone you can buy! I've also got jars of fabulous Gianduja and White Chocolate Pistachio sauces, too.

I've decided to try bringing over some Easter Panettone for the first time, seeing as Christmas Panettone went down so well. Big thanks to The Early Bird Bakery for selling it online for me, which means delivery within 6 miles is available!.

Now we need to start using these in 20mph areas. As we are moving towards more roads being 20mph, it makes no sense to maintain the current policy of only having community speedwatch operations on them.
🚨 🚨 🚨 @WMPolice has DOUBLED its fleet of mobile speed enforcement camera vans – thanks to a six-figure investment by @SimonFosterPCC 🤝. The Police & Crime Commissioner has added 4⃣ new speed vans to help put the brakes on speeding drivers. 👉

We should not be encouraging people to drive to train stations. There's great public transport links to the HS2 interchange station. And if those don't work for you, take a taxi.
Solihull councillors expressed concern that the green belt is under pressure but would still rather see 3000 car parking spaces’ worth of tarmac than new homes and jobs. These people are holding the region back.
