🤯 This month marks THREE years since the consultation into pavement parking in England closed. 🗓️ Over 1,000 days of waiting for a response... We need to put an end to #PavementParking. Agree? Tell the Transport Minister to take action: e-activist.com/page/137567/pe…

In our neighbourhood at least, the issue is now growing bigger than 2-wheel pavement parking: It is: 4-wheel parking pavement overhang (no wheels but front/rear bumper encroachment) and pavement driving (full speed journey involving encroaching in pedestrian space).

Fantastic news for all pavement users! Hopefully it will be a huge win for all those who wish to reclaim pavement space, and others places will follow. #PavementsForPeople

THIS ⬇️ Large and smaller vehicles are equally guilty of this, and some drivers might not even realise. Nevertheless, this is still pavement obstruction, and the debate around pavement parking really ought to be broadened to consider these and other obstructive offences.

Andy Burnham Implying that we can use 1970s theory on increasing traffic flows in the city, ignores the growing need for improved crossing times to increase pedestrian journeys. Without this joined up thinking we can never reach our 2040 sustainable transport targets.

Andy Burnham We will never reach our sustainable transport targets without disincentivising unnecessary car journeys Currently no politician in Greater Manchester is willing to express that truth

In the Netherlands, you don't arrive by bike at the train station. Instead, you arrive by train at the bike station! 🚆 50% of train travellers arrive by bike. 🚲 33.000 bike parking spots around Utrecht CS. 💰 30 million Euro investment. x.com/i/status/15766…
