The Government need to give councils the power to tackle this sooner.

Sunset in the #Chilterns, and what looks to be an almost complete HS2 tunnel at Wendover: just one prefabricated concrete segment to go. This is one of five ‘green tunnels’ between London and the West Midlands: cut-and-cover tunnels with the surface to be planted on completion.
Spent the morning in the #Chilterns scooping some @wandrer.earth lanes and trails.
I do like the Chilterns - it even matches the postboxes and berries to my bottles 😀
Got this year’s first proper soaking on the bike today too. But it’s very warm - still doesn’t feel like Autumn does it?
That awkward moment where your phone runs out of juice at the Cafe Stop and it looks as though you have cycled 14k for tea and cake 🤣
Rest assured I got home ok...
