Often in #climate #engagement folks say they’d use trains if the cost & experience made them more appealing. I’ve taken 2 @transport_wales trips in 2 days: packed seaside services yet just 2 carriages, no AC, very few opening windows & unbearably hot. The UK HAS to sort this out.
Lots to think about this morning - a new government with a huge majority but not a huge share of the vote; with a pile of challenges waiting but often a lack of consensus (let alone money) to tackle them. This must be the era of #delib #engagement… public-sphere.co.uk/2024/07/05/thi…
Councils not yet flashing red need to lean into the challenge now. This month I worked with one LA to host a Budget Fortnight: 150 managers in a room to find big savings (& consider impacts) together. Share the challenge, generate new ideas, convert into concrete business cases.
Local authorities are pausing capital investment, introducing voluntary redundancy, selling off assets and in some cases re-interpreting their statutory responsibilities in order to set a balanced budget. A thread on the situation in authorities and the action they’re taking:
On what would have been his 100th birthday, here’s a reminder of the imagination, positivity and insightfulness of local legend George Evans. Writing a decade ago, here’s how he imagined his home town would look today. @DrPaulEvans1 @LoveWellington1
In 2013 we asked the late George Evans, then 90, to imagine Wellington on his 100th birthday - today. He wasn’t far off the mark. The Clifton gave rise to @WellingtonOrbit, @WellingtonMrkt is resurgent & the high street buzzing. We just need that museum... wellingtonsoup.org/2013/06/20/wel…
Many @ggharingey hands made light work of this last night… what a team! For years we’ve been looking at this patch of grass thinking we should recreate the flower bed it used to be, now we have.
A huge thank you to @ggharingey for their work last night - they began with a half-dug bed full of weeds & 1 hour later had weeded, dug out the other half and planted with 50x lavender & 50 geraniums (courtesy of @haringeycouncil). All in time for our Summer Fair on 9 July!
Great thread on house-building targets. We a) keep failing to hit annual govt target by 100,000+; b) the target itself is arguably too low to meet natural growth in households & c) the target would in fact need to DOUBLE to give us same no. of homes per cap as comparator nations.
How many new homes do we really need? 🏘️ The proposed changes to the NPPF have prompted lots of debate about their impact on meeting the government’s target of 300,000 new homes per year. And is that even the right number in the first place? A thread 🧵, with graphs. 📊 🥰
Want to get #Census2021 data for any area in England and Wales? Wards, parishes, parliamentary constituencies, or perhaps a 1km radius around a local park, school or train station? "Build a custom area profile" is here to help! ons.gov.uk/visualisations… 1/3
I joined this place aged 24 & never quite found the right moment to leave: I was always learning so much, with such brilliant people on such diverse, interesting work. It has given me my best friends, flatmates, ideas & energy … & for that I will always be hugely grateful.
🧵It is with great sadness we share the news that Traverse is to close its doors on Monday 5 December. It’s no secret that the UK economy is in a significant downturn amidst ongoing political uncertainty and in recent months Traverse has been severely impacted. 1/4
A redundant bowling green? No, a community meadow - we got a sign to prove it! And today at @chapmans_green we added an orchard of 13 fruit trees in memory of our friend Carrie & for the @QueensCanopy. Helpers aged 3 to 87. We’re growing food, habitat & community in #N22 🍏🍎🍐🌳
A civil servant texts: "I’ve had meetings with ministers cancelled because they are too focused on their infighting and leadership campaigns. This madness means that absolutely nothing can be done, and even if they get a new leader, we’ll get new ministers and every time...
So the first sitting PM found guilty of a criminal offence, whose lack of integrity led a record number of his own ministers to resign, & whose willingness to break international law (his OWN Brexit deal) diminished Britain’s standing abroad: the MP for #TheWrekin wants HIM back?
The Conservative Party is the most successful political party in history. The next election can still be won but we need a proven winner & someone who has broad appeal - someone who gets the big decisions right #BringBackBoris Boris can lead the fightback & puts fear into Labour
Inflation is rapidly eating away at the levelling up money announced months ago. The longer it takes for that money to land with #localgov, the more their planned projects are going to have to shrink. Frustrating when high streets are facing (more) tough times.
Levelling up projects may need to be ‘resized for inflation’, Clarke warns lgcplus.com/services/regen…
Our politics & our press over-simplifies big issues & highlights intractable division. Yet whenever I’m involved in a deliberative process with citizens I’m reminded how good people are at listening, understanding, sharing views & even shifting them in response to others.
In 2021 I was one of the team that ran the worlds first global citizens assembly. 100 people chosen by sortition, a snapshot of the human family itself. 10% with no formal education, 50% women, 70% living on $10 or less a day, 13% white, 18% Chinese. #GlobalAssembly
Next Tues 11/10 I am speaking at @WFplanning’s 'Consultation and Stakeholder Engagement for Infrastructure 2022' conference. I'll be sharing @traversepeople X the REBLE ideas & learnings on #inclusion
🚨 Call for participants 🚨 We are looking for #PersonalAssistants who are employed by someone in receipt of a #DirectPayment to take part in a short research project. More details👇 If you're interested please contact [email protected] @traversepeople @em_niner
ICYMI In our #Costofnotlistening articles, we explore how innovation and engagement with people and communities impacted by the #CostOfLivingCrisis plays a vital role in decision-making and tackling inequalities. Read the series👉traverse.ltd/recent-work #TraverseInsight
Every community should have beautiful things it can take pride in. There aren’t many in our corner of N22, so things like this sign matter. It tells people we have an ambition for this place; that someone cares about it; and that good things are coming. #Haringey #community
Here it is: our brand new sign to tell the world what we’re doing at the old bowling green! HUGE thank you to sign writer Pat Pearson for donating his time to make this. instagram.com/chalkdock_sign…
As well as leading some excellent work with charities, @timbidey is also very charitable himself - yesterday he literally gave me the shirt off his back when mine got soaked through in the downpour. Thanks Tim. It’s mine now.
With the #costofliving crisis hitting small #charity incomes, @timbidey argues that emphasis mustn't just be on how charities can save more or funders give more, but on how funders need to give differently 👉traverse.ltd/recent-work/bl… #TraverseInsight #socialinvestment
In our latest article on the #costofliving crisis, @ByAmelieT shares three recommendations for public engagement during the #EnergyCrisis, and calls for a national public dialogue on how to reduce home energy emissions. 👉traverse.ltd/recent-work/bl… #TraverseInsight #NetZero
