Thanks to Jessica Hopkins for covering the elected member survey highlighting abuse towards politicians in local govt, & asking me about it. It's way worse for others too. I hope by talking about this we can change this culture. (Limiting replies on this for obv reasons!)

Sweet vindication after the nasty culture war #bikelash election 3 yrs ago. Turns out communities do want safe streets & cyclelanes.
Not the complete result we wanted but very happy to have been part of a campaign built on positive progressive policies with a great group of candidates

This Hayden Donnell guy seems pretty smart - but note we don't really have "election day" at the national level anymore. We have "the voting period" (soon to be set in law at 13 days in length). What would doing the same mean for local elections? (🧵)
Wild idea: just run local elections like national elections
We need to hold a proper election day, and most importantly, call in the orange guy.

This is really great news. City Vision (Labour, Greens & independents) has flipped two local boards. This is a win for progressive policies. Communities want climate action, street improvements, safe speeds and bike lanes
The preliminary result is now out. We're really delighted to have secured the majority on the Albert-Eden Local Board with the election of Michelle Thorp
