Bike parking enabling 60 hospital staff to cycle to work is a win for the taxpayer
Comment & Analysis: A cost of €85,000, or €1,416 per space, for a secure bicycle shed for the National Maternity Hospital is cheap compared to building car parking, which is estimated to cost €5,000 to €85,000 per space in 2025.

"Robbing us all of the immeasurable joys of summer as it was is part of that theft. It’s not the main reason that climate action matters so much, but it’s a reminder that what we’re losing is not only the terms of our survival and our safety, but our freedom and pleasure"
Rebecca Solnit@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · yesterdayMy editor asked me to write about what happened to summer:
The Jeep Rubicon Childkiller. Celebrate the climate emergency and mow down pedestrians with 5,000 pounds of pointless metal.
Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.
