Hey @adamdkharrison.bsky.social & @richardolszewski.bsky.social There was a very public commitment to consult before any decisions on how to proceed. That promise was not met.
1. Why were decisions made without consultation?
2. Where is the long-promised co-design report?
3. What are you hiding?

New data shows a more than 33% drop in deaths and serious injuries on roads with low-traffic zones. That’s real impact—fewer deaths, safer streets, and healthier communities.

Clean air should be a basic human right like clean water.

We need clean air zones, but it's not just in city centres so more needs to be done including increasing fuel duty and more school streets.

It’s been four and a half years since the Government consultation on banning pavement parking with still no outcome.
“For most people, being pushed into the road to walk around cars is not nice. But for some, that is literally putting them off leaving the house.”

Not that many years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic. And it wasn’t a safe place to ride a bike for transportation, so not many people tried.

Four years ago this road had 5,500 rat runner per day using it to cut between two A roads in Chiswick, London.
Now it is a safe route to two schools, parks and playing fields for parents and children.
