Lovely to see more tarmac and concrete being converted into new green spaces.
Rain gardens not only look great, but also help mitigate the impact of intense rainfall & local flooding associated with climate change.
Last year we delivered over 50,000msq of SuDs across London.

London has just recorded the lowest murder rate since records began.
The evidence is clear, the @mayoroflondon.bsky.social's approach to tackling violent crime is working.

Working with London's Boroughs, @TfL have:
🚌 Introduced 25km of new bus lanes
⏱️Built on the success of the 24/7 bus lane programme & extended operating hours of 3km more bus lanes
🚌Removed almost 100 parking bays from our bus lanes
And there's much more to come...

I really welcome the new National Road Safety Strategy.
With 28,000 people killed or serious injured on GB roads each year, it's astonishing there's been no new strategy since 2011.
The plan's ambitious with policies that'll help save lives in London too.

It's cold out there and many of the roads are extremely slippery - so please take care while travelling. 🥶🥶
TfL teams have been out with our cycle lane 'gritters' - named 'Chris Gritty', 'David Plowie' & 'Spready Salted' - helping keep our bike lanes ice free.

With 30,000 people killed or seriously injured every year on this country's roads, I can't believe we haven't had a Road Safety Strategy since 2011.
This week the government will be publishing a new one. Well done @liliangreenwood.bsky.social & team.
Looking forward to seeing the details.

I'm very pleased to see that the new pedestrian crossing of the A2 at Blackheath Hill in Greenwich has been finished.
This has been much needed for far too long and will help people safely cross these busy roads.
Big thanks to the @tfl team.

They've trained 170 ex-offenders. Statistically, 93 should have reoffended & gone back inside (55%). But only three have (2%).
In just 3yrs XO bikes have helped rebuild 167 lives, saving £9.3m in reoffending costs in the process.

Big thanks @XOBikes for fixing my broken wheel today at their new shop at 176 Blackfriars Rd.
XO is a social enterprise which fixes & sells donated bikes.
Staff are ex-offenders who've been trained as profession mechanics. All profits go towards training more ex-offenders.

🥶It's chilly out this week, but no need to stop cycling.
Wrap up warm with an extra layer, thicker gloves & 2 pairs of socks. Slow down & ease off on corners. We're treating roads & bike lanes but it can still be icy.

Lambeth Bridge N&S used to be one of the most dangerous junctions in London.
We're transforming it - making it safer for everyone.
I'm delighted the carriageway has now reopened to two-way traffic - with new protected cycle lanes both side (with anti-terrorism protection) 🚲

Illegal ghost number plates are a hole in the UK's security infrastructure.
They enable organised crime groups to operate undetected on our road network, let unsafe & dangerous drivers off the hook, and result in a significant loss of public funds.
