#ClimateDiary Through canvassing #Potholes are pretty prominent in my mind atm. For those of you not in the UK: potholes have become a focal point in UK local, even national politics. A bit of a cliche etc but they are, indeed, terrible - and getting much worse due to climate change (will add some of my own pictures below). Would be interesting to know how bad they are in other countries?

#ClimateDiary #Potholes 2/2
These are just some of the examples of potholes in neighbouring streets (one a campaign photo). We used to laugh a bit at people complaining about potholes but they are now everywhere, really big, and cause a lot of damage. I encounter them mainly as a cyclist: really dangerous for us, too! Anyway, i am kind of interested as a very “English” manifestation of conjunction of climate change, infrastructure failures, and behaviour (heavier vehicles). #TheCrumble
