It’s just possible that the Labour voices who urged Khan to ditch Ulez expansion after the Uxbridge by-election were not, after all, strategic geniuses.

184 years earlier than predicted, London has met the legal limits for toxic NO2 for the first time.

This historic milestone proves that bold action like expanding ULEZ works, protecting children’s health and giving millions cleaner air to breathe.
London Ulez reduced nitrogen dioxide to legal limit, mayor says
The mayor of London says the fall in airborne toxins is due to the Ultra low emission zone expansion.

Great to meet you today @drjomaher.bsky.social ! If you ever want to visit South Devon and come for a ride with Larry the Unicorn and I, let me know!

Yes, you are probably right in most cases. Sadly, I think I have experienced both.

Sadly, when people vote in climate change deniers pseudo science is given power.

Reform are proposing to “rescind” the climate emergency
declared by Kent County Council in 2019 in a move branded "anti-science & dangerous" by the Greens on the council

Green cllr Stuart Jeffery: "“Reform’s paper to council is full of conspiracy theories and garbage science. The science is clear."

If ever you wondered what you would have behaved like in 1930s Germany, what you behave like today will tell you.

Choose to oppose Nazis. Choose to oppose hate.

There's no middle ground here.

Will we see some bold leadership with regards to improving sustainable transport and consulting children/ young people so we can build a better future for them?

And also - it’s super creepy to follow you home. Go home type up and print off a letter then return to post through your door…

Hmm…do you find drivers notice the thumbs down? I go for an outstretched arm to demonstrate space, not sure people understand though!

This is amazing!

As the world burns and demand for AC skyrockets, one desert city solved the heat problem 2,500 years ago.

No fossil fuels. No electricity. Just brilliant design.

These are Yazd’s windcatchers - ancient climate tech that beats anything being built today. 🧵

Walking rates are up, according to today's National Travel Survey data - but the government is failing to meet the target of 55% primary school children walking to school.

The problem? Streets are not safe for walking.

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage.

Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants.

Don't fall for it.
MIGRANTS AREN'T THE PROBLEM
INEQUALITY IS

As someone in his early 40s who NEVER wanted to or expected to be a parent to a human child, I have to admit something that has been on my mind lately...

I noticed a lot of my attitude shifted when I started to think about all the Dutch 🇳🇱 cycling moments I could have with her (yes, a girl).

Sadly relying on people to be able to judge and adjust their speed accordingly just doesn’t seem to work!
