"In some locations they have added congestion to the local area, but nearly all of them have been huge successes. We do need to continue to actively review them – there's been a huge amount of listening to communities and tweaks to LTNs"

Biodiversity collapse threatens UK security, intelligence chiefs warn Ecosystem destruction will increase food shortages, disorder and mass migration, with effects already being felt

This should be the leading headline in all papers. It’s been slow coming out (suppressed?) and it’s shocking and vital. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The black car has been parked outside the shops on Rosendale Rd, unmoved for about a year 😔

The larger white van has parked illegally in the middle of the road, forcing the other into oncoming traffic 😔

But apparently parking controls are bad for business and don't help with road safety. Hmm ... 🤔

How do LTNs reduce road danger 🤔

Stopping rat runs vastly reduces huge volumes of traffic making turns across uncontrolled junctions and heavily used active travel routes.

Such as the continuous footways and cycle route shown here on Dalmore Rd / A205.

Let's reduce road danger and save lives 💚

I’ve campaigned alongside Roadpeace for many years. Their work supporting bereaved families and seriously injured victims of collisions on the road is essential, especially as the numbers of people still being killed and injured each year is devastatingly high.

Four killed and five injured in Bolton road crash Three teenagers and a man in his 50s died in the crash in Bolton, say Greater Manchester Police.

More devastating and needless loss of life 😔

The govt reforms cannot come soon enough and must be bolder in tackling dangerous driving 💚

Yesterday I spend an inhuman amount of time on the 205 bus mostly because drivers are allowed to park in the bus lane. Why? The biggest single thing TfL/LAs could do for bus times is London-wide removal of all parking in bus lanes.

Why isn't the government collecting data on children's active travel to school? In 2011 the government stopped collecting school level data on how children are travelling to school. We outline why this data is so important to transforming school run active travel and a quick…

The government used to collect invaluable data on children's travel to school. Then it stopped 🤨 bit.ly/3WdNvUb #solvetheschoolrun

Is it any wonder junctions are road crash hotspots 💀

Perpetual blocking of sight lines, vehicles moving on red light phases and turning across pedestrian green man phases are the cause of many of these issues 😔

We want more yellow boxes 🟨💚
