If we continue to design around cars rather than people we will continue to be a nation where active travel comes second to the car...
A proposed cafe in Wales with a target audience of people arriving by bike has been rejected, as the staff car park was considered to be too far away bbc.com/news/uk-wales-538428…

Wales could become the first nation in the world to reduce speed limits from 30mph to 20mph to save lives. An independent report found even a 1mph drop in average speeds can lead to 6% fewer casualties. Would you like to see a 20mph speed limit in your local area? 👇

This is what leadership on #activetravel looks like. Hackney's mayor and council comms team championing the work done by local councillors, taking the case for #saferstreets direct to residents, and proudly reinforcing that message on national platforms 🚶‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚸

Something to ponder if you were considering participating: Imagine if all residential streets were properly enforced 20mph...and had crossing at every side road... safe for walking and riding with no expensive infra... Just a thought....in case you were going to have a say....🤔

Pop-up parklet installed by local residents in @IslingtonBC have been given permission to keep it.
Neighbours who put planters in parking bays without asking Town Hall are told the green makeover can stay - with a new application system in the pipeline for others to follow suit islingtontribune.com/article…
