In Wales after a national default 20mph urban/village limit was implemented a year ago: ☼Speeds are down by 4-6mph ☼Casualties are down 29% ☼Insurance claims down 20% ☼Insurance companies are setting lower premiums - £50 less for average driver ☼Only 10,500 requests made for

20's Plenty for Us What an incredible year it has been, with communities being transformed by 20mph in a way no one ever thought was possible. In Wales we are truly experiencing a ‘Brave New World’ and proud to be at the cutting edge of a road safety revolution that is sweeping the civilised world.

Great that 61 bus between 2 communities (#Tring & #Pitstone/#Ivinghoe), combined pop 16k, now calls at Tring Station from Sept 2nd, may be permanent. Thin publicity so far. Station car park often bursting, £7-10. Lets promote a big #publictransport win Buckinghamshire Council Hertfordshire County Council

Hugh Laurie sharing great rugby moments late at night for no discernible reason is the first good thing to happen on Twitter in about two years.

Why cancelling £15bn or more of new roads would help grow the economy and support Labour’s five missions transportactionnetwork.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

We need to switch funding away from new roads and into public transport and active travel. If you agree, please write to Louise Haigh today. Our template letter is easy to edit and send actionnetwork.org/letters/help-g…

Louise Haigh's roads review should force National Highways to focus on road maintenance and climate adaptation, making existing infrastructure more resilient. Instead they blow the roads budget on vanity projects like the £9bn+ Lower Thames Crossing bbc.com/news/videos/c5…

Such a relief that there’s no climate crisis so these developments can go ahead without concern & without undermining commitments to being the greenest government ….

Carbon capture plan is a colossal waste of money. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Today, four years on since the #CANBill was first proposed, @DrRozSavageMP will introduce the Climate and Nature Bill in the House of Commons. This is a historic day for the Zero Hour campaign. We’re now, finally, on our way. theguardian.com/business/2024/… Jessica Elgot Sandra Laville

The UK could turn as cold as Scandinavia. Why aren’t we preparing? Nothing is certain in the casino of climate physics, but if a vital ocean current collapses temperatures will plummet over the decades that follow — and Britain is ‘ground zero’. thetimes.com/uk/environment…

Big Oil is using carbon capture to avoid cutting North Sea gas output. BP has even admitted it👇😲 It’ll be disastrous for our climate if the Gov green-lights the Tories’ £22B #CCS plans—ignoring increasingly urgent warnings from scientists.

Last govt most certainly would have got right on and built it. Rishi Sunak, 2020 Budget speech: ’There's one more road I want to mention, one of our most important regional arteries. To the many who have campaigned for this moment – I say: The A303 - we're going to get it done.'

News that The Labour Party is considering making solar panels optional rather than compulsory on new homes, after pressure from housebuilders, is depressing. This should be a no-brainer on the path to NetZero Liberal Democrats

This is a real testament to the vision of Lee Waters in getting this implemented. Nearly everyone benefits Counties in England that are resisting calls for 20mph speed limits in villages, such as East Sussex County Council, should think again

We recommend the UK’s NDC commits to reduce territorial greenhouse gas emissions by 81% from 1990 to 2035. It is informed by the latest science, technological developments, and the UK’s national circumstances. It is ambitious and deliverable. theccc.org.uk/publication/le…

If you want to know why scientists are so worried about the threat of #AMOC collapse, I try to explain it here: newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

Scrapping the £2 bus fare cap is a disgraceful decision that will harm the poorest in society, and discourage public transport at a time when it is needed more than ever. Why is the government punishing people for trying to get to work?

The net worth of the British royal family is estimated at £22billion, according to Forbes. King Charles’ own wealth of over £2billion is independent of this. The Crown Estate is valued at about £16billion. Why don’t we give this cash to the NHS instead? Put that on a bus!

She stripped away their control. Now, they want her silenced. Say her name. Share her story. Show the world her courage! ✊ #AhooDaryaei #آهودریایی
