Me with the paper

My face with daughter with paper in front of her face

This piece is about the importance of a full cycling network, and how that really comes into focus when cycling with children, because you don’t want to take any risks.

Pavement parking is dangerous to wheelchair users, visually impaired people and parents walking their children to school. Write to your MP telling them to vote on a crucial Gvt amendment to reclaim pavements for pedestrians.

It's happening! 📢

On Tuesday, MPs will consider an amendment to enable local leaders to ban pavement parking in their area. We need you to help us get this amendment on to the Bill.

Ask your MP to agree to Amendment 265 when it's considered on Tuesday: https://bitly.livingstreets.org.uk/4tMU2Uq

This comes as news from LBC shows Met basically aren't following up hit & runs against cyclists. Criminal drivers are clearly considered by many police as 'unfortunate but not a priority'. The consequences of that approach to society are horrific.

The "Ridiculous" Traffic Plan That Actually Worked YouTube video by Streetscapes

If you are a Councillor, please watch this.

It happened nearly 50 years ago in the Netherlands. The arguments against restricting traffic were the same as those made today and were proven to be wrong.

Many cities would greatly benefit from a circulation plan.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Whenever I see a car with a "dirty" VRN plate I think, "there goes a driver who wants to break the law & not get caught. I wonder what else they're up to". Some may think it a small thing, but it's corrosive. Many would probably be horrified to have their car seized for it but it should happen more.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Vision zero takes account of everyone being capable of making mistakes, and the system takes account of that so a mistake by a child crossing a road or by someone driving along it does not result in death or injury. Hence road rules like speed limits.

Lots of London boroughs continue to prioritise the convenience of Range Rover drivers over the safety of Londoners. This is @rbkc.gov.uk who shamefully removed a cycle lane here.
