Our Martin's mainly using Bluesky recently took some time with Naomi deSouza to discuss our city’s road deaths and what’s happened (or not) in response to the road safety emergency to prevent more. birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

Trying to get home in brum on the bus. As usual, stuck in traffic full of single occupancy cars. When are we going to decide this is unsustainable and do something about it? Richard Parker Better Streets for Birmingham

It’s disappointing to hear that we’re not closer to the appointment of a new walking, cycling and road safety commissioner. This is now dragging on and is unsatisfactory. BBC Birmingham & Black Country Kathryn Stanczyszyn Richard Parker

The number of people killed on Birmingham roads this year is staggering, with a particularly deadly month in July. I worked with Better Streets for Birmingham to look at what needs to change, as they warn it could be "any one of us" next 👇birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

13 motorists have just ignored a red light on the Pershore Road…THIRTEEN! 😡 When can we expect to hear some plans for meaningful action on response to this road safety ‘emergency’ Bham City Council called over a month ago?
