Yeah that sounds good.

I was a bit disappointed to read the section of the Notts minutes
dealing with how people see the network. I felt there was too much
emphasis on the more spectacular direct action reporting than the
day-to-day issues that people face in their communities.

To me, that's got more potential to make a positive difference and I'd
like to see more work go towards encouraging those kind of reports.
Bristol have done excellent work in that area. There's interesting
parallels between what their council is planning re: parks (Glasgow) and
pulling up cyclepaths for a guided busway / tram scheme (Edinburgh and
First Bus).
