Planning my travel for the #cardiff #10k this weekend, when 6000 runners will decend on #cardiffbay with major road closures.
Of course, all train routes to Cardiff Bay cancelled that day, with many people likely not wanting to opt for the active travel option having just run such a race and families coming to watch. Bus travel very limited to get to registration in time. Car it is.

I don’t know who needs to see this in #cardiff #centralsquare but someone does. Saw the bus station yesterday with even more fencing taken down, revealing a sea of concrete and a small singular SuDS.
Biodiversity travesty from Wales where we’ve declared a nature emergency.
#cardiff then and now. And for once, the now is a lot better.
Traffic free neighbourhoods are onto something.
@gethin76 all homes must be C+ when sold, with certain exceptions such as listed properties or affordability (no definition set though in report). 90% + of new homes already EPC A or B.
I can see major challenges but also opportunities, not least affordability, supply chain and suitable measures being available. Also challenges with ownership - what if you inherit a EPC D or worse property. Report also calls for a review and reform of EPCs - so it may well change.
Much of my week has been spent reading the government #netzero review. Some radical suggestions in report:
-House sales must be EPC C or higher from 2033.
-All new commercial buildings EPC B by 2 years time.
-Massive scale up of #infrastructure - we’re miles behind our European neighbours in solar regs and expansion.
2023 - the year of the #retrofit. Some initial thoughts:

Sometimes, local government baffles me.
Absolutely incredible. Interlaken in #Switzerland was always one of my favourite places to visit growing up.
