Half term is so visibly over, right?
🚸 And it has a HUGE knock-on effect on traffic.
🚗 In some areas the school run has been reported to increase pollution and bus times by a staggering 50% compared to school holidays! How were your local roads last week?

🚸A school street closes roads to cars at drop-off and pick-up to protect pupils on foot, bike or scooter from speeding cars and pollution. Ours closes three!

🧁We took our Cargos & Cakes event series to Twickenham, Richmond and it did not disappoint…. !
Lots of parents stopped by to learn more about what cargo life could look like for their families (and pets!).
Fantastic to see such great support for #cargobikes from Richmond council.

Lambeth #carfreeday was a blast! We launched the first event in our Lambeth Cargo Collective programme.
Our Cargos & Cakes events are opportunities for parents to meet cargo-biking families to find out all about them and try them out.
Great to see so many people giving them a go!

It can be easy to think of the school run as an intractable problem that can’t be solved.
And then you go to France, Bordeaux to be precise, and it’s school run time, but there’s not really any traffic, and everything seems very calm……

We joined up with @cleancitiescampaign.org and @mumsforlungs.bsky.social this morning to support the launch of a terrifying new report from @transenv.bsky.social showing how children under the age of 9 cannot be seen by the drivers of supersize SUVs due to the height of the bonnets.
