Can't help but feel that #Cardiff Council's change to allow 'normal' traffic back to Castle Street was a big step backwards.

Now it looks as though something major is going to have to change. Very pleased to see the intervention by #WelshGovernment via #JulieJames https://gov.wales/written-statement-environment-act-1995-activity-ensure-nitrogen-dioxide-compliance-air-quality

I created a #Pixelfed account for Wales' National Infrastructure Commission. I'm guessing it's the first advisory body in Wales to have one!

Race Council #Cymru's summer update has plenty of interest, including advanced notice of a full programme of Black History Wales (October, https://blackhistorywales.org.uk/whats-on/), and nominations open for the Black History Wales Youth Awards.

A real pleasure this morning to chat to Mark Drakeford (yes, the First Minister one!) about active travel as I was taking the kids to school.

Yesterday at our first meeting of the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales we heard about the amazing things Welsh Government is doing for #ActiveTravel in #Wales, and it was a delight to see Mark using an electric bike for the first time!

What a lovely guy too. Inspirational in an understated way, maybe for future First Ministers!

It's a real pleasure to welcome the new Deputy Chair, and six new Commissioners, to the National Infrastructure Commission for #Wales 🙌🤝✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I wrote an article for the #WalesCentreForPublicPolicy about infrastructure and well-being https://clubb.cymru/2022/05/30/may-22-infrastructure-and-well-being-in-wales/

Excellent article here on the outcome of the #Welsh local authority elections by the #InstituteofWelshAffairs

I'm happy to see that an article about #Wales and #WalPol makes it to the UK press, but there not much new for those of us who live here...
