🚨 BREAKING: Europe’s summer of extreme heat, drought and floods caused €43 billion in damages.

Scientists warn costs could hit €126bn by 2029.

The crisis is real, but we still have time to act together for a safer, more resilient future.

It's vital we ensure every MP and MSP hears from their constituents that for a safe climate and affordable energy, we must stop Rosebank and all new oil & gas now.

The leader of our council personally intervened to scrap our first School Street before its trial period had completed due to complaints from motorists and wealthier residents in the next street over. Added a chicane and speed bumps instead. But the street remains unmistakably dangerous for kids…

Now we need more affordable fares, and more bold projects like the Elizabeth Line, to help more people shift to rail, boost the economy & cut carbon.
