Lib Dem Councillor for Copthorne in Shrewsbury. Shropshire Council Portfolio Holder for Transport & Economic Growth. Leader of Shrewsbury Town Council. Views my own.
Iβm so saddened to hear of the closure of RoadPeace for financial reasons.
The charity did so much good β supporting crash victims, standing with bereaved families at their darkest moments, & tirelessly campaigning for safer roads.
I hope one day it can be re-established & continue its vital work.

100% of people under age 16 are nondrivers. They live in every community and they deserve to be able to get around as much as anybody else.

This story of the of poor bus connectivity will resonate across the country. Towns with limited and unreliable bus services are missing out on staff & customers. Investing in bus services is crucial to creating thriving towns and inclusive rural economies.

Pic of Cotham hill with lots of bike parking and pedestrians.
Bristolβs Cotham Hill, a deserted ghost town wasteland since traffic filters and replacing car parking with bike stands a few years ago.
Only joking, itβs full of people and has a ton of brilliant independent shops and great restaurants. Cos people shop, not cars.
35% fewer collisions & 36% fewer casualties on London roads that have been dropped to new 20mph limit. No evidence it increases congestion. www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

The Guardianβs happiest places to live in Britain revealed
Shrewsbury Beautiful timber-framed Tudor buildings cluster the centre of this market town, encircled by a loop of the river Severn. Shrewsbury sits on the doorstep of Wales as well as the rolling Shropshire hills, and you can get to Birmingham or Manchester by train in just over an hour.
Shrewsbury has been named as one of the country's top places to live in multiple polls, while its high street has been ranked as one of the best in Britain, with lots of thriving independent shops. It has some of the top schools in the West Midlands, low crime rates, plenty of food and drink choices and beautiful period architecture. The town is perhaps best known for its indoor market, which was recently voted Britain's favourite for the third year running. With over 600 listed buildings, it has dozens of historic pubs, including The Nags Head which dates back to the 16th century and featured in the 1984 movie adaptation of A Christmas Carol. Look up and you'll notice lots of quirky details. Number 16 High Street (now a Costa Coffee) is a crooked Tudor building which in the 1990s was adorned with a carving of Margaret Thatcher and Michael Heseltine. The 16th-century Old Market Hall has been beautifully restored and is now home to a cinema and cafe bar.
Charles Darwin, Shrewsbury's most famous son, was born here in 1809. The landscape helped inspire his love of the natural world - in the town centre you will find the Bellstone, a granite boulder which was his first introduction to geology. Where to go For fine dining try The Walrus - featured in this year's Michelin guide. The Riverside Inn on the outskirts of town has beautiful water views, while Casa Naranjo, a family-run tapas bar, is popular with the locals. What to do At Theatre Severn, you'll find a constant stream of productions to see in the 650-seat auditorium. Where to breathe North of the town is Hawkstone Park, 100 acres of Grade I-listed landscape. Where to buy The average asking price for a semidetached is Β£293,244. Suburbs south of the river such as Belle Vue, Abbey Foregate and Meole Brace are considered some of the nicest areas to live.
We knew it already; but #Shrewsbury has been named one of the happiest places to live in Britain by the Guardian π₯°
