This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.

They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

Really important bit of research. I hope #TfL will take heed. It highlights the route by #Millwall Stadium which frankly feels unsafe on foot or bicycle in the day, let alone after dark.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

IMPORTANT: Paris has been implementing a 5-Year Pedestrian Plan:
- 300 million € invested by 2026
- 100 new hectares of pedestrian space
- 100 more “streets for kids”
- Focus on 0 pedestrian deaths #VisionZero
- Longer pedestrian cross times geared to seniors

Leadership.

Does your city have one?

People on bikes aren’t swerving to annoy drivers, they’re just trying not to die or destroy their mode of transportation.
This is generally what the bike portion looks like of our “shared” roads. Glorious.

Would you believe the data continues to prove that bike lanes are good, actually.

Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.

Kensington & Chelsea is the wealthiest borough in the UK

From next year it will be cheaper for someone to park their G-Wagon outside Harrods than it will be for children to play table tennis

Is this really greener, safer & fairer? The councils glossy post Grenfell vision…..

Nobody should be scared to swim in their local bathing spots for fear of getting ill from sewage.

It's time to abolish Ofwat and bring in a real regulator with real teeth to clamp down on this disgraced industry.
