I’ve written about a very special Q and A yesterday at the Mall Galleries. It was with actor, TV host and campaigner Adam Pearson, and portrait artist Tim Benson, who I’ve known since school. It’s too long for a thread, but is here on LinkedIn … www.linkedin.com/posts/carla-...

Great to see Bounds Green feature in the Guardian’s piece on the happiest places to live in the UK today. It features in the London section. Roberta from Hot Milk, which gets a mention, agrees! It has a great community spirit, many many thrift sales, and lots going on. … 1/2

This is just one junction. So many across the country are like this - designed and managed to move motors it is so hard to see how this gets rolled back. But we have to fight for this junction by junction, street by street.

I have had a car "tell me off" for cycling northbound here along Bounds Green road. There were multiple lanes of stationary cars and all I did was change lanes in order to get past them. This was enough for the car driver to tell me that there are other road users I should be aware of.

Every day crossing the pedestrian crossing at Bounds Green junction- this was lunchtime today. Note all the cars stuck in the middle when it’s a green man. I’m glad councillors are engaging with this issue …

Thanks @carlafrancome.bsky.social. Safety at the Bounds Green junction safe is my no. 1 priority - that’s why I have organised an urgent meeting with residents, Cllr Seema Chandwani & @mikehakata.bsky.social to listen to residents experiences - they’ve been waiting too long to be safe

Good morning from a Bounds Green Busybody, denim jacket over my pyjamas at the main junction at 7 AM, because there’s been a huge crash here overnight. The Facebook group last showed a car still here, stuck on the railings. There will be hundreds and hundreds of kids … 1/8

Went to get a sneaky haircut today in Exmouth market, and it was weirdly profound in an active travel way! I got out at Farringdon tube and there were cyclists everywhere- hundreds of them. Boom! There were so many on a bit of rubbish painted lane where a lorry was … 1/3
