Daily life in the city: markets, transport, home and neighbourhood.

Seasonal produce arrives at winter markets

Cycle commuting routes get longer in the city

New links join separate paths together. Parking places still fall short of demand.

A watering routine for houseplants

Watering by soil moisture is suggested instead of a fixed day. In winter the interval can double.

Setting up storage in small kitchens

Keeping frequently used items at eye level helps more than adding cupboards. Measure before buying shelving.

New signage on weekend walking routes

The signs carry distance and gradient. Routes are split into three difficulty levels.

Neighbourhood swaps for second-hand goods

Swap days are held once a month. Conditions for accepting items are published as a list.

New transit line plan goes on public display

Three proposed lines will be open for comment for thirty days. The plan aims to cut the number of interchanges without moving existing stops.

Retail sales extend a three-month recovery

Non-food groups keep rising while durable goods hold flat. The data is published quarterly.

League table tightens before the first half ends

The gap across the top six has narrowed to three points. The away schedule will decide the remaining weeks.

Second signature on the cross-border rail project

The signature starts the survey phase for the second section. Freight will take priority at first.

Open source maps double their layer count

The new layers carry accessibility and surface data. Contribution remains voluntary.

City museum opens a new exhibition hall

The hall is reserved for light-sensitive works. The first selection runs for three months.

Sleep routine advice for the change of season

Shifting bedtime gradually over a week is advised. Light exposure directly affects sleep quality.

Waterfront pedestrian scheme enters its second phase

Footfall was measured on the completed stretch. In the second phase the cycle lane is to be separated from the walking area.
