And here you have Tory travel policy in a nutshell: absolutely zero concern about pedestrians or road safety, as demonstrated by van parking on the pavement next to an actual parking space.

Good of them to remind everyone it’s 20mph though, that’s useful.

Hugely enjoyed deputy leader Zack Polanski 💚 speech to conference.

Full of positive vision and big ideas, & reflections on the success of the recent council elections: 700 Green Cllrs so far.

Also I admire anyone who can deliver a brilliant 20 min ‘no note’ speech. 💚 #GPC23

Good start of the day: Active travel session at The Green Party conference with Matt Edwards 🟢 Cllr Emily Kerr 💚

On my way to The Green Party conference in Brighton. Look forward to seeing many of you there.

I am speaking about Active Travel, and how to deal with misinformation.

Wow, very happy to see this grassroots initiative from Oxford United fans. If everyone who can travels by public transport the roads will be much better for all. Thank-you OxVox

Sunak didn’t just cancel HS2…

He authorised the sale of the land that would form part of the cancelled route

So no other leader could reverse his decision.

This major decision

One he took unilaterally

Without consulting parliament

…without anyone having voted for him.

So, Sunak announced:

- A metro to Manchester Airport...that was built in 2014
- Extending the Nottingham Metro to Clifton South... built in 2015
-Reopening the Leamside Line in Durham...but they've u-turned today and cancelled that
- 1/4th of HS2 money to spent on...potholes 🙄

Look at the joy. 💖🚴‍♀️🥁🎸

This is deliberate, desperate vandalism. It's the sale of our future - and the UK's economic prosperity for another half a century.

“This isn’t just a parochial agenda for the leader of a G7 country, it’s also a misguided one”

From that hotbed of woke wokery, The Economist.

Sunak is a national embarrassment for focusing on the minutiae of council policy - AND being wrong!

Request: Does anyone have data on the difference in motor traffic between when the schools are in and when they’re out?

I have heard it’s about 10% but I think that was in a high private school area. I can’t find much research.
