P&R a perverse incentive. Abstracts users from existing public transport so reducing services & hence removing mobility from those without car access. Years of local bus/train travel could be bought for £25k

How accessible are the bus stops where you live? Our latest report highlights problems like:
• Not enough space to manoeuvre a wheelchair
• No dropped kerb
• No seating
• No timetables - or timetables that are too small or high up for people to read.

The Budget is a chance to make aviation pay its fair share. Flying is the most carbon-intensive form of travel, yet aviation fuel remains tax-free. We're calling for a kerosene tax, a frequent flyer levy & higher APD on private jets to fund better local transport & cut emissions.

Eight weeks of gas works have also got under way near Addenbrooke’s Hospital on Hills Rd.
With this and Granham’s Rd, people trying to get to appointments should be aware of potential delays.

🚍 1 in 7 people in England are at risk of being left behind by inadequate bus services. We're calling on the Gov to use the Budget to invest an extra £300m a year in local buses to reconnect communities, boost opportunities and ensure everyone can access a decent bus service.

From 1 October, the final phase of the Accessible Information Regulations (AIR) comes into force, bringing older vehicles into scope and marking an important milestone for accessible bus travel bit.ly/4hWl60i
ALT Image and quote from Lydia Horbury - The Regulations set the standard, but now we need to make sure the reality lives up to it. Announcements need to be heard, displays need to be visible and accurate, and passengers need to be able to trust the information they are given. Accessibility isn’t achieved simply by fitting the equipment: it’s achieved when passengers can travel independently, confidently and with dignity.
