Please let your councillors know that you'd like a safe, regulated e-scooter hire - like all the best places in the world already have!
🚨 URGENT ASK to help us push micromobility forwards in Greater Manchester 🛴 Your local authority has until 21/10/25 to apply for an e-scooter trial. We believe e-scooters are a crucial part of the shift away from cars, so PLEASE email your councillor asking them to apply. 1/3

The @BeeNetwork Streets for All standards are clear that "Everyone should feel safe, on all of our streets, whether it is during the day or after dark" The principles are there, and now all @BeeNetwork schemes need to follow them, without excuses 🧵1/2

The amount of times I’ve heard today: “No one objects to 20mph zones outside schools or hospitals, that’s just sensible, but…” How do they think these people arrive at these places? Do they just magically appear, or might they also need to be safe on the journey there too?

"While three-quarters of traffic fatalities are men, fear of traffic danger affects women’s transport choice disproportionately" The only equitable solution is for safe, comfortable, direct, protected cycle provision along key arterial routes
