“We have a consistent, non-evidence-based, negative narrative to stop any change. It’s stopping people wanting to put their heads up & do difficult things. It needs people with courage to stand up & say: ‘This isn’t in the public interest.”— @chrisboardman theguardian.com/news/2024/de…

She sounds great! You’ve sold me on her
New Transport Minister is @Heidi_Labour previously Deputy Mayor of London for Transport from 2018 to 2021 under @MayorofLondon
She is anti motorist in the UK with a proliferation of Khan styled anti-driver policies, eg LTNs ULEZs 20mph zones etc
I hope she will meet with me

Massive win for EU - legally binding clean air standards ratcheted up across EU for 2030. Rollout of Low/Zero emission Zones, LTNs, School Streets & more strongly encouraged tools to get local authorities to within air quality limits by then.

Very important line here from @LouHaigh on road safety:
"We treat road safety in a way as if it is somehow a natural accident. If the number of people being killed or seriously injured on our roads, were being killed in any other way, we'd be treating it as a pandemic."
