Cross-party campaign to stop the £200m+ North West Road in #Shrewsbury. It will create 48,000 tonnes/CO2, destroy vital wildlife habitats, & risk our tap water.

BREAKING NEWS: Thames Water executives citizen’s arrested at their offices this morning. It’s time someone held these criminals to account for the harm and disruption they are causing to our lives. Follow for updates. #CitizensArrest #ThamesWater

I really don't think this news has made sufficient shock waves. Dr Katherine Calvin, NASA Chief Scientist Trump-Musk just fired, is the highest ranking American on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC. She is co-chair of Working Group 3 on mitigation. This is a climate attack.

All power to @drandrewboswell.bsky.social holding the UK Government & the duplicitous CEOs, etc., of major Oil & Gas companies to account.

Councillor Dartnall is 💯 correct. The #Shrewsbury North West Relief Road has been a Tory scandal from start to finish. An over budget, out of date, climate wrecking road to ruin @liliangreenwood.bsky.social @rosemary4column.bsky.social @heidialexander.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Shropshire Council has agreed to withdraw its draft Local Plan, following recommendations from government inspectors.

🌍 Ed Miliband—after the Climate and Nature Bill debate on 24 January, you promised to work towards real change for climate and nature. 📅 Will you commit to a meeting with Zero Hour and take forward the spirit of the #CANBill via future legislation? ⏳ We’re counting on you. 👉 zerohour.uk

Hoping someone is paying attention at Shropshore Council. Cancel the NWRR and get the £39m spend to date written off while you still can! www.highwaysmagazine.co.uk/DfT-throws-N...

Norfolk CC ignored warnings, wasted £56M of public funds, and failed to plan a viable Plan B for the Western Link. Blaming bats & Natural England is deflection. We demand accountability & resignations. Norfolk deserves better—enough is enough. www.edp24.co.uk/news/2497154...

Public ownership of water isn’t just popular—it’s common sense. MPs must take bold action on the sewage crisis. Ask yours to attend @labourlewis.bsky.social’s Clean Water drop-in on 18th March and show their support. Take action now: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... #ourwaterourway

Oh... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🧵 1️⃣ UPDATE Last week Shropshire Council published the draft Full Business Case for the #Shrewsbury North West Relief Road (NWRR). Campaigners say it's "a total work of fiction riddled with so much misinformation, it would make Donald Trump blush." But there's more...👇 @heidialexander.bsky.social

Wyle Cop, #Shrewsbury. Locally known as "the Cop". This beautiful historic street full of independent shops is the main excuse people give for not cycling anywhere in our town at all - "how are we going to cycle up the Cop?" Forget what you think you know, #E-bikes are the future. #ActiveTravel

This week's impressive Climate Change Committee report makes a rock solid case for net zero. BUT it recommends a major program of new fossil fuel infrastructure—giving Big Oil exactly what it wants. Why that’s a bad mistake, and what the alternative is. 🧵

We can't go on like this. Huge financial waste, terrible contract control, and zero transparency. The moment this meeting ends we’re getting back out on the doorstep in Conservative seats to campaign. We need a new Liberal Democrat administration which can stop the rot and fix our county.

Jurors have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to their conscience. They must hear the whole truth. It is anti-democratic for judges to withhold evidence from jurors. It is corrupt for judges to refuse jurors their rights in law. www.defendourjuries.org

Absolute state of Shropshire Council...😱 plus.shropshirestar.com/news/2025/02...

"The council needs an ‘off-ramp’ strategy to prevent a scenario where council tax payers have to pick up the bill" Campaigners have been warning about this since 2019. Council said it would be fine. Now we face a £150m shortfall + UNLIMITED overrun costs. Taxpayers on the hook! t.co/xU4yl7QfKy

🚨 Exciting #SustainableTravel #ActiveTravel event in #Shrewsbury! 🚌🚶‍♀️👩‍🦽🚲 The focus of this conference is on towns. Featuring: @peterwalker99.bsky.social @phil-pja.bsky.social @modacitylife.com @juliabuckley.bsky.social @shrewsburybid.bsky.social www.shrewsburymoves.com/festival

How about a Reform UK candidate for the May elections calling for the assassination of the Prime Minister?

😱 New docs show the North West Relief Road really will bankrupt #Shropshire. Total cost now £215m (!) and Oxon Link Road section up from £17.9m to £52.7m!!! Cancelling it will cost £38.9m from the skint revenue budget 😱😱😱🚗💥

The Conservatives want to spend £200m on 1 four mile road in Shrewsbury. (which they don’t have the money for) There are 74 divisions on Shropshire Council. That’s £2.7m for every community in the county. #letsfixshropshire #72daystofixshropshire

Residents and a local councillor say they are being ignored by Shropshire Council over the severe deterioration of a busy Shrewsbury road.

😱 No chance of this road ever being built now... #Shrewsbury #NWRR

Politicians are making bad decisions about energy &climate, and refuse to speak with scientists Starmer's love of carbon capture just one - also Heathrow, Rosebank, Drax None consistent with science As a concerned citizen, I am taking the Govt to Court on carbon capture👉 bsky.app/profile/dran...
