@charleswright57.bsky.socialIs Burnham putting the brakes on the robotaxi rollout in London? Plenty of people think that would be a good idea. My substack latest. @freewheeling.info @sebdance.bsky.social @ellybakeram.bsky.social @carolinerussell.bsky.social

@davehillonlondon.bsky.socialReposted by @charleswright57.bsky.socialThe City of London is a prime site for struggles between high rise new development and heritage protection. The "pro-growth" side has just had a big win, but the battles will continue, as @charleswright57.bsky.social reports: www.onlondon.co.uk/charles-wrig.... #london #planning
@richardbrown.bsky.socialReposted by @charleswright57.bsky.socialTroubled bridges. What to do about London's river crossings? Me for On London, partly prompted by @jamesrball.com and @neilgarratt.bsky.social.
@london.gov.ukReposted by @charleswright57.bsky.socialThe Wild West approach to dockless e-bikes cannot continue. I'm setting out my plan to improve safety and data sharing, tackle poor parking and create consistent standards across London. TfL licensing is the key to making these schemes safer and better managed.

@davehillonlondon.bsky.socialReposted by @charleswright57.bsky.socialVery pleased to have had a chat with Dr Jack Brown about recent @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social research into differences between what British people think about #london and what official statistics say: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-8X... #truelondon #london #trump #farage #demographics @london.gov.uk
@richardbrown.bsky.socialReposted by @charleswright57.bsky.socialGreat overview for the uninitiated on what the new London Plan might mean - the biggest departure since 2004?
@charleswright57.bsky.socialPlenty of takes among the built environment sector, understandably, around @london.gov.uk draft London Plan, the development blueprint for the city for the coming decade. Not so much among residents more generally. So what they might want to look out for? www.onlondon.co.uk/charles-wrig...
@davehillonlondon.bsky.socialReposted by @charleswright57.bsky.socialSadiq Khan's draft new London Plan, the capital's master planning blueprint, is still out for consultation. @charleswright57.bsky.social takes Londoners through what they need to know: www.onlondon.co.uk/charles-wrig...
