📸 I’ve reported several sites and will continue pushing for stronger enforcement and new covert cameras.

⚠️ Local people deserve action ... not more excuses from #Bradford Council.

ScotRail sets record for most journeys in a single day The record setting day broke previously highs set during major events like the Edinburgh Festivals and Taylor Swift and Oasis concerts at…

In September peak rail fares were scrapped for good.

The success is already clear to see.

📉 New figures show bus use across #WestYorkshire has fallen again.

⏳ While the Labour Mayor is blaming everyone else, the reality is bus services in #Bradford are getting worse right now.

📣 Bus users need action now, not warm words about improvements that are years away. 👇

Celia wears a dark jacket and scarf; Matt wears a beige coat and glasses. At the bottom is a call to action reading “Join.greenparty.org.uk,” alongside the Green Party logo.

🗣️ I was lost for words. Luckily I had a poem prepared ...

#WealthTaxNow

Hahaha. You missed my tour! You could have talked about what it was like in the city centre for disabled people!

🥀 "It fails to take responsibility for what it can and should be doing right now."

🧨 Cllr @greenmattbfd.bsky.social takes #Bradford's Labour-run council to task over its lack of action on nuisance fireworks.

🚆 After some reflection, I am stepping back from my national role as Green Party #Transport spokesperson.

🚌 It’s been a privilege raising transport inequality, calling for better buses & helping shape HS2 policy.

💚 But for now, I want to prioritise my work in #Bradford and Tong Ward.

A Green Party graphic. There is a photo of Matt Edwards wearing a blue and green checked shirt standing front of the mirror pool and Bradford City Hall. The text to the side reads: "Matt Edwards: Councillor - Tong Ward."

Our transport spokesperson @greenmattbfd.bsky.social :

"Bradford and our district need NPR to deliver the economic boost we have been promised for years.

"Every delay sends a message that our communities are being treated as an afterthought compared with London and the South East."

'Make travel in London free for everyone', TfL told The Commons Transport Committee last week proposed everyone under 22 be given free bus passes

"Free bus travel for under-22s only scratches the surface. London’s public transport fares remain among the highest in Europe, and no one, no matter their age should have to choose between paying rent or tapping their Oyster."

As long as people are stuck in car dependency without good public transport, those who should not be behind a wheel will be forced to resist rules to restrict them.

Ending road death MUST mean green transport ££ and lower speeds, car sizes and traffic, not just action on drivers.

A screenshot of a news article from Dhaka Tribune. The headline reads: "Pakistan’s first trackless electric tram debuts in Lahore". The words "first trackless electric tram" are crossed out and replaced with the word "bus". Underneath is a photo of a fancy bus and other text where the words "trackless tram" are crossed out and replaced with the word "bus"

🤦‍♂️ If it doesn't have tracks, it's not a tram.

A "trackless tram" is an expensive bus.

Great day in Bradford last week with our work experience student, Adam for the @local.gov.uk City Regions Board. So much going on for the City of Culture year, and a chance to catch up with @greenmattbfd.bsky.social @bradford2025.co.uk

A progress pride flag (although an older one without the update to reflect Intersex) and a trans flag pride flying in front of Bradford City Hall. Tyrell Square is visible in the background.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Really proud of see the #Pride and #TransPride flying in front of #Bradford City Hall today.

With everything the LGBTQIA+ (and especially the trans community) are facing at the moment, this is a powerful statement from @bradfordcouncil.bsky.social

A graphic from Bradford Green Party with a green background. It features the text: "Could you be a Green Party Councillor? You don’t need previous political experience — just a commitment to our values, representing the community and a drive to make a real difference." A button below says "Find out more." The Green Party logo and name appear at the bottom along with small print that reads: "Promoted by P Worsnop on behalf of M Edwards at 7 Fairfield Road Bradford BD18 4QP." There's also a circular graphic showing a city skyline.

🟢 We have big plans for the local elections in 2026, and we are looking for people to stand as a Green Party councillor.

💪 You don’t need previous political experience - just a commitment to representing the community, Green values and a drive to make a real difference.

What would you choose to spend public funding on?

The Lower Thames Crossing?
or
20 - 50 rail re-openings (£300m each*)?

* This is the cost of the recent and hugely successful Northumberland reopening

Done ✅

Thanks Jen. I followed them on the other place but I think when I joined this, they weren't on it.

🥳 And another massive win for an amazing @greenparty.org.uk transport campaigner in Oxford!

💚 Congratulations to @greenpartyemma.bsky.social

💚 Big win for @emilykerr36.bsky.social

💪 Just the kind of person needed in our Council Chambers - someone who's unafraid to stand up for transport policy that puts people first.

Worried about the rise of Reform?

Angry that Labour aren't doing enough?

There is only one thing to do 👇

💚 Big #GreenWin in Accrington! Hopefully the first of many in Lancashire.

💚 Congratulations to @lambethgreenparty.bsky.social and @paulvalentineactor.bsky.social

💪 Whilst the media is transfixed on the narrative they are peddling - Greens are winning local election after local election.

🗳️ The only party to elect more councillors than the year before... 8 years running.
