Police officers are arriving in vans and on horseback to the area around Castle Park ahead of tonight’s planned protest. I have seen one van from Dorset, with officers from other forces in attendance. Follow this thread for the latest updates as the evening unfolds.

Harbourside car park is getting increasingly grotty but it’s good to see the mini ladders & staircases mostly intact. The artwork by John Pym is called Secret Industry, described as a “playful way of suggesting an alternative, unseen service industry at work within the building”.

As people outside the Mercure chant that refugees are welcome here, protesters on the other side of the road advise them to fuck off. “Go home and take your hate away,” sing the human shield in response.

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.

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.
