Great fun to see the #NorthTynesideSolarTrail . Collected 7 of the 10 planets. Would be amazing as a permanent fixture alongside the Sunrise Cycleway ๐ ๐ฒ๐. Amazing work by David Majarich, Alison Stenning, Veerle/Vee and countless others.
A two-week adventure comes to an end. It's been a blast in the #netherlands ๐ณ๐ฑ and #belgium ๐ง๐ช at #fietsenwandelbeurs2024 , but as all good things must come to an end, I'm ready for home!
A busy first day done at Fiets en Wandelbeurs at Jaarbeurs alongside NewcastleGateshead Initiative and Visit Northumberland. Lots of interest in walking and cycling holidays in the North East ๐ฃ๐ฒ
Wasn't this money meant for the North? Of course, they must have got muddled between the North and the North Circular! #LevellingUp
If you want to come and work for Sustrans as part of our #SchoolStreets team, we may have the job for you. Opportunity is in partnership with Gateshead Council working 22.5hr/wk to enable the roll out of School Streets as part of a great team #recruitment
I'm proud to work for a charity like Sustrans who stand up to knee-jerk policy like this. We work to make healthier places for everyone to live, not grabbing for the next headline. Great to have leaders like Xavier Brice making the case for #sustainabletransport
Completely dumfounded why someone could possibly cut down the beautiful tree at #SycamoreGap and cause so much damage. This means something to the #culture of the North East, it's like a rural Angel of the North and now it's gone. Pictures in happier times N'land National Park
So it turned up! ๐
The first ever Bee Network service arrives at Farnworth Bus Station at 4.30am.
Greater Manchester is back in control of its buses. ๐๐ป
Anyone in the North East will recognise this. For such a vast region we're woefully under funded in #transportinfra in comparison to others. This is what #LevellingUp currently looks like.
From a US perspective but this is bang on from David Zipper. We need mass adoption of #ebikes to enable more people to switch from car travel to #activetravel and voucher schemes are critical to this uptake bloomberg.com/news/articles/โฆ
Had an amazing couple of days in #Manchester with Sustrans colleagues and partners from across the UK & Ireland checking the best of #cyclinginfra with @OfficialTfGM
Not surprising that National Audit Office has found that Department for Transport are likely to miss #ActiveTravel targets - not surprising due to the cut in spending. Active Travel England need to ensure rhetoric is matched with reality.
Last week I was in #ScottishBorders & saw the Borders Buses Bike Friendly Buses. Space for 2/4 bikes on a regular bus. Would be amazing to see south of the border & properly integrate #publictransport and #activetravel Transport North East PlatformNewcastle youtu.be/70XoQ8C4NFs
Great afternoon with the street closed to cars for #StreetPlay . Lots of chalking in the sun and an impromptu long jump competition. Loads of people enjoying the #carfree street PlayMeetStreet North Tyneside Playing Out North Tyneside Council
Absolutely baffling that the incumbent, with a proven track record should be blocked from standing. The Labour Party need to see sense and reverse this ridiculous position. Mayor Jamie Driscoll has secured a fantastic devo deal for the NE and should be allowed to stand, win and implement it.
