More Conservative politicians who do not understand the very basics of public office.

A consultation is there to gather input on a scheme that will go ahead in order to make it work as well as possible.

It is not an opportunity for NIMBYs to veto progress on road safety.

“Much more to come” ❤️

Bring it on you fabulous people.

#ChiswickLovesCycling

The work on London’s Cycleway 9 to Brentford is progressing at pace. The new protected cycle lanes are looking good.

Can’t wait to ride this bit of the route later this year.

Nice work Hounslow Council highways team & @tfl team

SUNDAY READ: London’s buses are getting ‘more dangerous’ under Sadiq Khan - a new data analysis suggests

Emboldened by democracy the anti-car fundamentalists continue with their wretched plan to turn Chiswick into a barren retail desert.

This once bustling SUV sanctuary has been utterly destroyed. Drivers forced to walk up to 300m from their homes to shop at M&S.

If Olise wanted to play for England then Saka would only ever be a sub.

Hey Kids

Be cool like Swifty in Paris today

Don’t be like Gordon

Uh oh I am reading this. Don’t tell Mark Harper.

The days of car-centricity in urban environments are numbered.

People > vehicles

If there was any doubt that John Stewart’s brain had disintegrated then he has removed all doubt with his cycling lay by suggestion.

“The expansion of ULEZ didn’t create a powerful car lobby – that has existed for a long time. His triumph over that lobby is instructive and will be critical in Labour’s first term in government – the urgent need to replace fuel duty with road charging” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Next time someone promotes those 'EV sales are collapsing, no one wants EVs' stories, tell them to read this: 'I Went To China And Drove A Dozen Electric Cars. Western Automakers Are Cooked.' Cheering on car companies' Kodak moment is as dumb as it gets.

Need a visual reminder that paint is NOT infrastructure?

Excellent thread on bus stop bypasses. The RNIB’s considered approach to safety for all road users is laudable.

📢 Good news Friday!
Signs are out advising that the London Fields LTN works on Lansdowne Drive will take place for 6 weeks from Tues 14th of May.
Works include creating a brightly-coloured raised table & adding bus gate signs for the new timings of 7am-7pm Mon-Sun.
At last! 👍

This is Kew Bridge which would really benefit from a cycle lane bypass, rather than forcing cycle & pedestrian traffic on the shared path through the bus stop.
The pavements were narrowed 3 years ago to squeeze an extra car lane in.

Bloody hell!

The Conservatives have really unearthed another great candidate for West London here. Londoners just love colonial rhetoric from the 1950s.

Somebody please put this Party out of its misery.

Is too late to suggest that banning pavement parking & other blockages/trip hazards from the footway also needs addressing?

Seems overly drastic to ban something that could be addressed by other means first?

The Conservative’s picking a Councillor from Hayes in Bromley as their environment spokesperson (yes I’ve changed it) is so bang on trend for Tory 2024.

I bet he thinks that 20mph is damaging to the environment and unjust. Nevermind ULEZ, LTNs or cycle lanes.

Absolutely fascinating today BBC Radio 2 — Nigel Havers in the studio to complain about the behaviour of cyclists, along with Laura Laker who has written #PotholesAndPavements disagreeing that they offend more than any other road user.
Really worth hearing this exchange —
