Talks of a new Menai bridge, a crossing which carries only 13,000 vehicles a day, talking about a new South Wales M4 relief road, yet they're dithering over a like for like replacement of a bridge which carries 70,000 vehicles per day and is in a very bad state of repair! Why?

"drilling for North Sea oil and gas will secure UK jobs" #Jackdaw will secure around 27 full time jobs. Meanwhile the offshore wind industry supports over 40,000 jobs and Hinkley C is supporting 26,000 jobs. None of the pro North Sea arguments stack up.

I wonder, when the energy price cap goes up, will the penny drop for #drillbaydrill morons, or will they a) blame something / someone else b) just stay silent and pretend they never claimed drilling for North sea oil/gas would reduce bills? #Jackdaw

In terms of art deco buildings in #Chester can anyone think of any good examples? Obviously there's Story House and Nero on Love St, also Tanner's on Christleton Rd. But any others?

Have the plans for a through station been cancelled before they ever got off the ground? The previous St James plan has been canned and they don't even know if it'll be a through station! An absolutely pointless announcement. 🤦 thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/n…

🚇 It's been one week since we closed parts of @merseyrail for £3.5m of underground upgrades, so here's an update from our team down in the tunnels. ℹ️ Where the railway is closed, replacement buses will keep you moving. Check @nationalrailenq to see if your journey is affected. – at Liverpool, England
