Since it was installed in January, Bristol City Council has raised more than half a million pounds from fining car drivers going through this bus gate on Cumberland Road. Its laudable aim is to prioritise public transport over private vehicles and help improve air quality.

Absolutely amazing scenes in West Street in Old Market with hundreds of counter-protesters already out in advance of a planned far-right gathering. Follow this thread as I attempt to make sense of events as the evening unfolds.

I’m staying in Shoreditch and the number of people using the Cycleways is extraordinary. If you build safe cycling infrastructure, cyclists will use it. Top work from TfL. Bristol and WECA: please take note! (Let’s hope for strong support for active travel in tomorrow’s Budget.)

I did some walking and talking today with Bristol Central’s new MP, Carla Denyer. We spoke about what she will focus on both in Westminster and in Bristol, why she got into politics, and how the Green Party will push Keir Starmer’s Labour government to be bolder and braver.

This was a very sad site to see at Baltic Wharf this morning. Around 70 trees are due to be felled to make room for 166 new flats.

It’s absolutely astonishing how many people think this newly resurfaced cycle path through the Centre has replaced a footpath. But it just goes to show what a complete omnishambles the design of this area has been for years.

The crowd tonight is shoulder to shoulder near Sofa Project. Far-right Telegram chats have coordinated a gathering from 8pm outside a lawyers firm on West Street who specialise in immigration. They are going to find it very difficult getting anywhere close.
