This week I had two strokes in my 30s. I realise it's not cool to talk about medical stuff in British culture but I am going to share this story anyway because what I have learned over the last few days in hospital could potentially save a life. 🧵 1/8

#NickRobinson keen to display his oratory skills. Heard more from him than Keir Starmer

Londoners’ kerbside priorities: 1. Trees/green space 🌳 2. No clutter! 🪧 3. Children’s play space 👦 4. Community space 🪑 5. Residents’ car parking 🚙 Looks like Devonshire Square fits the bill nicely 👍 Journeys and Places Enfield

#Dispatches may finally be the Mr Bates moment for the NHS and social care. Just appalling.

Can we have this panel making up an advisory group to Wes Streeting MP ? #C4NHSdebate

Come on Winifred, let’s think outside the metal box here. London has great #publictransport the majority don’t have to *own* a car. So many options, yes, scooters included! and the increasing availability of car clubs and bike schemes. More of this. BBC Radio 4 #youandyours

If you’re driving illegally, best not to draw attention. #pavementparking Metropolitan Police

This is interesting. Counters the narrative that tech for #RoadUserCharging is still some time in the future.

Goodwin’s curve, developed when London’s Congestion Charge was under discussion, tells us the best time to implement road changes is *now*. Public support grows from the implementation ‘panic’ point as benefits appear. Post election is the perfect time. Louise Haigh

#youandyours Would have been more interesting to hear about future mitigation measures against over-heating and increasing temperatures in properties. What are they? Angela Rayner

LTNs are not new. Warwick Gardens in Haringey has been filtered for years - no one wants it removed. Pls complete the surveys supporting Haringey’s newer LTNs. The future is safer, healthier communities prioritising people. *B4 Friday* Haringey Cycling Haringey Council

Great news. The previous proposals were ineffectual - Oxford Street and London deserve a radical overhaul to be fit for the future.

Lovely to see older women cycling. Cities that enable women to carry on cycling into active older age need careful drivers, quiet residential roads, safe bike lanes/shared paths on main roads. Helmets & hi vis not required, baskets essential. Active Travel England Louise Haigh

Ban them. “Emissions from PM2.5 from domestic wood burning have increased by 35 per cent between 2010 and 2020. Domestic wood burning has become the single biggest source of small particle air pollution in the UK, exceeding that of road traffic.” Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan Mums For Lungs

The road is busy, parked all along, the pavement full of pedestrians, street furniture and scaffolding. Fortunately, the gentleman in the mobility scooter could make good progress in the cycle lane. Here he is behind the bus stop. ; )
