Local Authorities In England Praised For Clean Air Progress In New Study

The report by the UK100 group of councils claims local work around tacking air pollution between 2019 and 2025 prevented an estimated 13,722 deaths.

Brent Cycling Campaign pushes for safer TfL cycle routes after years of little progress on safe cycle routes since Carlton Vale in South Kilburn. Years of delay on the TfL funded Wembley to Willesden Junction route and too few on-road safety improvements. www.times-series.co.uk/news/2600047...

Westminster, so close to Brent and yet, when you see all the recent infrastructure changes, this feels so far away. Well done to all involved in our neighbouring borough that made cycling easier and safer for everyone. #Inspiring

THE THREAD IS HERE! 🙌🏻 This week, I had a fantastic tour of Westminster from @maxsullivan.bsky.social, to see what the council is doing to make it safer for walking and wheeling. It was quite frankly, an extravaganza.  

We met at Grand Junction, right next to … 1/25

Great campaign by @londoncycling.bsky.social, and all their borough groups, pushing for council candidates to commit to work with TfL on expanding the cycle network, so people from Hoxton to Hillingdon and Richmond to Redbridge can access a network of safe cycle routes.

Great news: @ategov.bsky.social plans guidance to "design safer streets" for women. www.gov.uk/government/n... Bad news: no mention of women cycling in release. Something our Women's Network has written entire reports on lcc.org.uk/campaigns/wo... & @cyclinguk.bsky.social have campaigned on. Plus...

Nationwide plans announced to design safer streets as 9 in 10 women report feeling unsafe walking at night

New government guidance will be issued to councils to help them consider how to make their streets safer for women and girls.
