A big day today with the launch of Salford’s very first camera enforced schools street, to make walking, wheeling and cycling to school safer and more pleasant for children and parents 🎉 🥳 More to follow in the coming months…

Great news for Salford City Centre! The Peel Green scheme has been paused, with the potential for the funds to be redirected to schemes in Salford City Centre. Great to see 'left behind' areas of Salford having their funding moved to more affluent areas bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Some excellent plans here from Manchester City Council. If you travel by foot, bike or bus to the east of Manchester (or would like to but find it currently too dangerous to walk or cycle), make sure you respond positively to this consultation 👇

Salford Council have lost the plot. A £4m scheme to transform a car choked road in Peel Green has been canned bcs the council caved to a fake petition from 'residents' as far away as Scotland and Cornwall And the payback for local councillors? 5 likes on a Facebook post 😂

There's growing evidence of safety risks of bigger cars. Heavier with higher bonnets & worse vision, bigger SUVs are: ⚠️14% more likely to kill you than if you're hit by a smaller car ⚠️increasing to 77% for children ⚠️and 200% more likely to kill a kid under 9 #VisionZeroLDN

For the 2nd time this week Salford council have indefinitely postponed a scheme to make cycling safer at the expense of cutting a few seconds off motor journeys. This time it’s the cyclops junction at Trinity Way / Chapel St, meaning the status quo of danger will continue
