Ride on Belfast! 🚲
The rain stayed off & the sun came out as the mass cycle took to the streets of Belfast #BikeWeek #GetMeActiveNI
Fab morning - thanks to all involved

A pleasure to spend the afternoon chatting with Ken and meeting Waffle, his adorable guide dog @guidedogsni
📹 "I would be totally lost without Waffle. Isolation for visually impaired people is probably the worst thing that could happen"
Today we continue to raise awareness of #roadsafety around e-scooters.
Meet Ken, who is registered blind, and his guide dog Waffle @guidedogsni🐾

🎙️ How communities can live more sustainably in the face of #climatechange?
For this episode of ‘Little Changes’ we travelled to Newry to chat with some members of the @Newry_BID Regional Community Resilience Group, along with DfI Rivers team, about their positive working relationship.
Jonathan McKee, DfI Rivers: “The management of flood risk is not just about building physical built infrastructure, it’s about engagement with communities, it’s sharing information … it’s about a range of interventions.”

📹 Did you get stuck in Belfast city centre traffic yesterday?
Take the stress out of your commute on the way to work AND the way home.
Peter parks up at Blacks Road Park & Ride in the morning, and gets the bus into the city centre, cycling onward to his office. 🚍🚲🚖
We followed him on his homeward journey, from his office in the Gasworks, to Belfast Grand Central Station @Translink_NI
See how park and ride can work for you bit.ly/TranslinkParkandRide @belfastcc @SustransNI

📹 Take the stress out of your commute on the way to work AND the way home.
Park up, board the bus, sit back and get a head start on emails, catch up on your online browsing, watch that programme you’ve downloaded or finish the book you can’t find time for.
Sound like a plan? Visit @Translink_NI Park & Ride Services & see how park and ride can work for you bit.ly/TranslinkParkandRide
Meet Lorraine, we joined her on her early morning commute into Belfast Grand Central Station, from Sprucefield Park & Ride. @belfastcc
