Cuts to bus services since 2011 have been 10 times higher in England's most deprived areas, with Tyne and Wear among the worst to suffer.

Report here on new research from @IPPRNorth.

[Department for Education @educationgovuk]

Schools can now apply to become one of the first to offer a government-backed free breakfast club 🍌

Breakfast clubs are proven to boost attendance and attainment, they break down the barriers to opportunity by boosting work choices for parents and life chances for children.

@BiggByson Amazing! Feel free to drop me a DM and I'll share email address/phone number if you want to talk about the role at all. Have a great day :)

[Catherine McKinnell MP @CMcKinnellMP]

2021, I met with students @GosEastMiddle who had ambitious plans for an ECO classroom - today we celebrated its opening!

So impressed by the determination & creativity of the children & their fantastic teacher inspiring future climate leaders #GreenInfluencers #NewcastleNorth 🌿

[Walk Wheel Cycle Trust @WalkWheelCycleT]

We’re celebrating the impact of the National Cycle Network on communities and individuals across the UK

Shaun wanted to help others with their mental health. He set up https://t.co/BvphoSY7RC.Walk, a men's wellbeing walking group that uses the National Cycle Network

[Transport for All @TransportForAll]

It's #WorldCarFreeDay! 71% of disabled people want to use more sustainable modes of travel, but needless barriers like overcrowding, missing announcements and a lack of lifts make it harder. It's time public transport was accessible, so we can all make choices about how we travel

[Ali Campion @AliAtSchool]

It's not just people with low/no income - people in insecure work, no matter how well paid, struggle to access Cycle to Work as you need a certain period left on your contract to access it.

[Nicholas Boys Smith @boys_nicholas]

Come and work with me in marvellous Stoke on Trent. There is so so much to do to help this country create more homes in better, more sustainable and more beautiful places.

[Ali Campion @AliAtSchool]

The scooters will be fixed up by a Sustrans team at Green Heart Collective on Gateshead high street and redistributed to schools and families at the start of the school year.

[Ali Campion @AliAtSchool]

It's not often I drive for work... but today was an exception! The wonderful team at SUEZ UK Campground recycling centre have been saving scooters from the tip for us to upcycle as part of our summer scooter project with Gateshead Council.

[Ali Campion @AliAtSchool]

@PhyllBuc Not entirely sure, we're just no longer delivery partners for the project! But will still be working with other local authorities in the region :)

[Ali Campion @AliAtSchool]

After two and a half years, I'm officially no longer working on Newcastle School Streets!

[Ali Campion @AliAtSchool]

@NewCycling @SustransNorth @NewcastleCC Thank you! It sounds like there is plenty of exciting stuff in the works for Newcastle and I'm still here and happy to chat. If nothing else I'll see you at Kidical Mass!

[Ali Campion @AliAtSchool]

@GarethKaneLD Thank you! Hopefully lots more exciting stuff to come.
