Noticeable rise in bluesky users in recent days. Journalists have been there for a while already. Now, it seems academics are coming in large numbers.
For some time (months?), engagement there is usually biggest of all platforms I’m on.

We are worried to note that #VisionZero signatories in the SW are not following this model of *designing in safety*. The child safety zone Heavitree AST was cancelled to appease noisy protesters.
This was the result.
Please deliver #SafeStreetsNow
ALT Car lies on its side on residential street (where a bollards reducing rat running had recently been removed). Police are in attendance at the scene.
💥New data shows fatal collisions in London have fallen FOUR TIMES more than the rest of the UK.
@MayorofLondon is making streets safer with more:
🚲Bike lanes
🚦New crossings & safer junctions
🚗Lower speed limits
🚸School streets

Great work from @RLSSUK and @NCMD_England to highlight a horrible growing trend. Requires lots of collaboration between @NWSFweb parters and crucially some non traditional water safety stakeholders
This morning, we are able to share a Child Drowning Update for 2024.
The report highlights evidence from @NCMD_England which shows that the number of child drowning deaths in England has doubled over the last four years. No child should drown.
