READ: If you haven’t seen this yet, please take a look. Motonormativity ("car brain") is a bias that stops people from making rational judgements about driving.

Great to see @feryalclark.bsky.social MP visting our stand at Labour Conference. As Cabinet Member for Transport in Hackney she was the first to introduce school streets in England - we're planning to help other Labour Councillors build on her achievements.

The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.

For clarity… this is not our policy!!!

Really interesting paper on AVs making it cost they will increase congestion and reduce active travel. Makes the case that government needs to tax them now: britishprogress.org/reports/self...

Jemima - We need to make the enforcement of schools streets by camera or bollard easier outside London. We also need School Street schemes to me more ambitious - larger zones further away from the school. Good news - Schemes are not a drain on budgets.... they pay for themselves in a year.
