Waiting for the media storm & calls for law changes after the death of another vulnerable road user, this time by a killer driver.
Oh, wait, this happens 400 times/year so nothing can or must be done. As you were...

The transport secretary is considering banning floating bus stops. The evidence case: 4 recorded incidents in three years. Meanwhile over the same period, 11,400 pedestrians and 15,000 cyclists were injured after being hit by motor vehicles. MADNESS

Secondarily, this plays into the hands of a govt which has repeatedly, contrary to its own research, tried to roll back active transport schemes by branding them a 'war on drivers'. As a blind person, these schemes are transforming my day-to-day independence in the best way..

Really disapointed in NFBUK here, positioning blind and visually impaired people like me against active travel and public transport measures. This position does not represent me.

As a parent of children who grew up learning walk and cycle around here, watching how children and families have started using these streets and seeing the difference this makes is very powerful.

Something in my eye. My kids went to primary near here. I lost count of times I had to yeet them out of road from an aggressive driver. During time there, a kid was hit outside school & seriously injured. Now, this... HT Labourstone Grace Williams Healthy Streets for Higham Hill and Lloyd Park #WFMiniHolland

Wow. Lead story in The Guardian. A dose of reality.

Good to see a copy of this - my dad picked it up.

Green policies win, clean air wins, people want healthy streets that are safe and quiet and calming.

And no they don’t want to be told how they have to move to the country to get it. They want it where they live 🙌🏻

I added up the votes of every London Mayoral candidate who said they'd scrap ULEZ in their manifesto booklet. Together, they got nearly 100,000 votes less than Sadiq Khan alone (leaving aside Lib Dem, Green, Animal Welfare Party and Count Binface)
londonelects.org.uk/im-voter/elect…

A ringing endorsement of ULEZ, LTNs, positive street change.

And a resounding defeat for divisive culture war and dog whistle racism narratives.

Let’s move forward, not back - it’s what the population want.
