Trenches Bridge, No 8 Slough Arm Grand Union canal showing serious cracks in brickwork. Important bridge as it has a public footpath an National Cycling Network over it as well as the old carriage route from Windsor Castle to hunting grounds of Langley Park. @CanalRiverTrust – at Lewisham, London

What cost accessibility? Too often organisations like Network Rail look at cheaper stepped bridges over fully accessible ramped bridges. Public inquiry involving ‘discriminatory and bonkers’ £3m footbridge to go ahead kentonline.co.uk/ashford/new… – at Lewisham, London

For last few years our cresent in @LewishamCouncil has held a car free day event to let children play in the road in relative safety & residents get together. Unfortunately no permission from council this year, strange given we now have a @LewishamGreens administration. – at Lewisham, London

Theres supposed to be water point at the Slough Canal basin but it was dismantled a while back. @CRTSouthEast aware but don't seem particularly interested in issuing a closure notice (via stoppage system) or removing it from @CanalRiverTrust facilities map. Can someone advise? – at Camberwell, London

Seems like good news from Arlington, home of @eastbournespeed and stock cars. Spedeworth Motorsports have agreed a new lease for Arlington Stadium. @UprightSpeedway @speedwaystarmag – at Lewisham, London

3'ish minute conversation on Restore Britain's new 'transport' spokesman. Not one mention of trains, buses, walking or public transport in general. Just motorists. – at Lewisham, London
I'm delighted to welcome @HowardCCox to Restore Britain as our Transport Spokesperson - through FairFuelUK, Howard has helped to keep fuel duty frozen for sixteen consecutive years. A proven track record of delivering for motorists. We are building a properly qualified team.

Very disappointing response from @CanalRiverTrust about the 'existing' water point on the Slough Arm of the GU canal. Provision of services on isolated sections of the system encourage less isolation. Obviously not a priority for @CRTSouthEast – at Lewisham, London

One of the key @CanalRiverTrust crossing of the Pennines has been closed since March, doesn't look likely to be reopened anytime soon. The rest of the canal looks in a very sorry state. Goes without saying that the Huddersfield Narrow is closed too. – at Lewisham, London

I visited @AshtonBears during the by-election to hear about their plans and was glad to return last night with a small donation to the fund. Grassroots Rugby League, and sport in general, matters a lot to me. It will be a BIG priority in my time in office. I clearly need to recruit a few more to the @LeighLeopardsRL cause though…
