It’s 200 years since the birth of the modern railway, and ‘Inspiration’ train is coming to Southampton Central Station 14-16 Dec. Don’t miss this free exhibition if you want to experience some of the history and innovation that make up our modern railways! railway200.co.uk/inspiration

Couldn’t agree with Stephen more -having worked locally with him to communicate these issues. At local level, we need improved strategies for dealing with air pollution, particularly from road transport. Hopefully Healthy Low-carbon Transport Hub can help! tinyurl.com/dhpanes3

Air pollution is a major threat to health including asthma, heart disease, stroke and cancer.
It has improved over several decades but we can reduce it, and the diseases it causes, significantly.
This Royal College of Physicians report lays out the harms and things we can do.

Would also welcome support from any of my followers. (Sorry not been posting much lately - tend to run more “in person” events now.) Thank you
@CMO_England Hi Chris, sorry if this is left field, but I hear you also think having improved pavements will save lives, if not injuries and the NHS time & money. Would welcome your support for this petition: petition.parliament.uk/petit…
More details: wemakesouthampton.co.uk/nomo…

Having been away, sad to hear about the fire at Platform Tavern earlier this month. This local iconic pub and music venue deserves saving: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-sav…. Charlie has more info, incl. other fundraising events in Nov/Dec: in-common.co.uk/2023/10/26/1…. #savetheplatformtavern

Thank you for organising! - this is a great opportunity to see/preview Ayo Akingbade’s Show Me The World Mister, and Billie Zangewa’s A Quiet Fire exhibition too, right? - I’m certainly looking forward to it 😊

Great you’re developing our neighbourhoods for local people. Need to clamp down on use of mobile phones while driving too - distraction is one of the biggest contributors to accidents. Maybe we could discuss strategy for making our neighbourhoods more vibrant & connected also? 🏡

As a council we’re committed to safer roads, that have lasting impact for residents and create better neighbourhoods…

I don’t normally tweet restaurants, but one of the best (and I’ve been to a few) is Taberna13, off Oxford Street at 13-14 Terminus Terrace SO14 3DT. Authentic Portuguese cooking, with some real unique gems. (Note I am not connected with them in any way!) IG taberna13_southampton
