We had the lot

Speed bumps

20 mph speed limits

Build outs into the road

But still they came

πŸš—πŸš—πŸš—πŸš—πŸš—πŸš—πŸš—πŸš—πŸššπŸššπŸššπŸššπŸššπŸššπŸššπŸšš
And all this in a borough with some of the lowest levels of car ownership levels in the UK!

Insanity! πŸ€ͺ

We could have been forgiven for falling into despair.

But we didn't! ✊
By now @SOSFentimanRd had spawned a mini movement, spearheaded by @SaveOvalStreets which united all 4 of the #ovaltriangleLTN's Residents Associations.

Change was coming.....!

Here are some of my thoughts and interventions from this morning’s session hosted by Stanbic.

We need to prepare for a prolonged, unpredictable economic crisis. An economic recovery plan is urgently needed to reduce the long term impacts of this crisis. Focus should be on:
*Building resilient communities with a focus in β€˜vulnerable to poverty’ + poor group which constitutes about 30% of BW population. Decisive policy action is needed to get these communities through this crisis, with lasting impact.
In the short term measures such as Helicopter money instead of food packages should be considered. Helicopter money will enable wide spread use of cash in the economy other than just for food, this will include recapitalization of the informal sector & SMEs

Did you miss this week's #WASHDriversHangout with @Temple_Oraeki? No worries. Here are the highlights.
A Society is only as healthy as it's most vulnerable member. Access to water in unequal, yet we're all vulnerable @NGRPresident @sanwatforall @ClimateWed
#COVID19 #PTFCOVID19
According to @WaterAidNigeria, over 50 million Nigerians lack access to clean water. #handwashing is an impossible task for majority these. @Temple_Oraeki shared some #palliative measures to make water a priority. #WASHDriversHangout #coronavirus #Sdg6 #leavenoonebehind
#Covid_19, especially the emphasis on hand washing, is offering developing countries an opportunity to restore/invest in public water systems. This is a huge project, but NOW is the time to ACT. #EndWaterPoverty #ClaimYourWaterRight #COVID19Response #SDGs #Sdg6 #Water

Dear Healthcare Leader (at every level),

The longer this drags on, the tougher it is going to get and the more people will need you.

People have asked, what can I do to maintain morale through this difficult time?

1/
You know what every great commanding general does in the midst of battle to help boost morale?

They show up.

On the front line.

Despite the danger, bullets flying, etc.

2/
Take a page out of the military leadership playbook.

Show up to the COVID units.

Show that you are willing to face the same dangers that everyone else is facing daily.
