Over two years after removing the #KensingtonHighStreet cycle lanes, there is still no progress towards safe cycling on this dangerous road. Last night we asked Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea: "Where is the urgency?" A thread... 1/

Why do retrofit loan schemes always seem to fail in the UK? (Remember the Green Homes Grant? The Green Deal?) What would it take to make them work? Well, we Nesta have been looking in detail in this question, and today we have published our answer...🧵 nesta.org.uk/report/all-the…

Protected space saves lives and enables more people to cycle. We’ve told them, local schools, cultural institutes, & health orgs have told them, TfL told them, and a report they commissioned told them. So why does Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea STILL not understand?? standard.co.uk/news/transport…

Dotted lines won’t save lives! Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is consulting on advisory cycle lanes on #KensingtonHighStreet & Fulham Road. Please tell them that protected space for cycling & upgraded junctions are urgently needed. NOT paint! Find out more & respond: lcc.org.uk/news/painted-l…

I was very unwell last week. Octopus Energy rang me about their quote for a heat pump. This week they send me a glorious bunch of flowers. Probably a smart business decision, but heart-warming nonetheless.

🚨NEW: A few weeks ago, The i Paper published an article about people 'turning their backs' on EVs It caused quite a stir, as it was pretty misleading Following an ECIU complaint, we secured some of the corrections we asked for (but not all) A 🧵 on where it went wrong

Sad day for City of London. Until today it had an exemplary transport policy. The Court of Common Council’s vote to allow taxis through Bank Junction during the day is a retrograde step and one the City Fathers will rue in the years to come London Cycling Campaign Will Norman

Graham Thorpe, England cricketer, with beautiful daughters, loving wife, family and friends. Took his own life. Too many men in particular, at a time when information is plentiful, charities on standby, text, phone and email services ready, are deciding to end their lives.
