Last chance: Support walking and cycling improvements between #Wembley and #Harlesden on a road which has seen over 90 collisions since 2018.
This consultation closes on Thursday 21 December, so tell TfL you support the scheme today! haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/wembl…

Who should we prioritise on our streets?

We know which we prefer ❤️
It's still very early days, but already children are able to travel through our neighbourhood more safely

London's network of Cycleways continues to grow.
Great seeing construction progressing on York Way between Kings Cross & Camden Rd.
This introduces new raised stepped cycle tracks in both directions as well as other improvements.

So - what are Westminster Council's plans for #OxfordStreet? 👀
Will they transform walking, wheeling & cycling on the 'nation's high street'?
You've got until 31 August to have your say. Here are our thoughts... 🧵& blog

A friend is not too happy being offered £2K to upgrade his diesel car. Says he would prefer to use the cash towards a new cycle and scrap the car. But hey ho, you can’t turn down that much free money! – at Poplar, London

Politicians keen to delay #climate action claim we’re “on the road to net zero by 2050”.
Here’s what that road looks like.

Wildlife expert @ChrisGPackham says the PMs assertion that we are "on track" to meet our net zero target by 2050 is "a lie".
"We are not in line to meet any of these targets," he adds.

Are you the same guy who dropped his house building targets? Because I’m the guy who started building more council homes than the rest of England combined, exceeded your affordable homes targets & built more homes of any kind than since the 1930s. This is desperate nonsense.
Labour’s Sadiq Khan has failed to deliver the homes London needs, driving up prices and making it harder for families to get on the housing ladder.
So I’m stepping in to boost house building and make home ownership a reality again for Londoners.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Under Sadiq Khan were more new homes completed per year than under any previous Mayor of London.

We want to hear from everyone about our trial Healthy School Streets - that's why we also ask the pupils! At Christopher Hatton Primary 98% of the children surveyed wanted to keep the changes. We loved getting their feedback @SustransLondon
ALT """I can now cross the road"" ""No cars, makes me feel safe"" ""No cars or vans, makes me happy as I can learn"" ""I will be able to cycle and scoot to school well I'm in year 5"" ""Don't have to worry if cars are coming in the road"""

Vienna's prominent cycle route, Argentinierstraße, is set for a change. This innovative project will improve the cycling experience and pave the way for sustainable urban mobility across Austria.
We couldn't be happier to see our city so gorgeous!
Better cities, happier people🌳

Plenty of problems for actual and potential cyclists in the UK - but when it gets you down remember it's far worse in terms of non-evidence based victim-blaming red herrings in the US, Oz and NZ - and here in Canada.
