Looking at today's Active Travel England (@ategov.bsky.social) updated funding allocations, here is the funding per person per year. I think it makes good sense to fund places that put money to best uses, I made this chart shows how that policy play out in practice. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Easy to miss, but important. At @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk we've been working towards this moment for years - the DfT has publicly announced that it is looking at sorting out mobility aid laws. 🎉 Our #MyCycleMyMobilityAid campaign looks like it is paying off.

My analysis of WECA's TCR allocation walkridebath.org.uk/2025/06/07/w...
WECA TCR, what happened to our £544m?
The government recently announced the 2027-2032 Transport for City Region settlements with the West of England CA receiving £752m or £788 per head. Amazing right? Well… Under the City Region …

You’d be genuinely mad to buy an SUV unless you need it - just look at latest climate and safety figures
The new Kodiaq is efficient, but the Superb estate is a much better option

The point that @msrachelcooke.bsky.social and her fellow campaigners always chose to overlook when complaining that our traffic reduction policies lack legitimacy is that when our Dulwich scheme was put to the electorate in 2022 our majority doubled. Their campaign is profoundly undemocratic.
This is pretty disappointing from @msrachelcooke.bsky.social in the Observer/Guardian www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
People who are well-informed about the subject know that there has been a huge increase in motor vehicle traffic in residential areas. We *do* need to do smtg about it.

So after correcting the first article to clarify that the ebikers were the victims, they've now described a murder as an "e-bike crash" rather than a deliberate act of violence by the driver of a 4x4.
