Ever wondered what yr councillor earns? There's a basic £12,729.96 + additional payments for extra work. Eg Cllr Biddolph got an additional £2,317.07, presumably as Dep Chair of Area Forum & sitting on Scrutiny Panel (which presumably she can no longer do as she's suspended).

[APPG for Cycling & Walking @APPGCW]

Loads of free books, toys, furniture up for grabs. A shocking waste by the ghastly owners of Falcons School. First they close giving the parents little warning, then they seem to have made zero effort to recycle this stuff to where it could be needed. Really poor show.

[Better Ealing Streets @BetterEaling]

By reducing traffic volumes on many local streets LTNs are giving people of all ages and abilities greater freedom to walk and cycle safely, and this is a good thing – an essential thing – because more walking and cycling, and consequently less motor traffic, is vital if we’re serious about:

- cutting the greenhouse gas emissions that are fuelling the climate crisis;

- improving air quality on EVERY street;

- making all streets safer, especially for the young and old;

- enabling more active travel (walking, wheeling and cycling) to improve public health;

- reducing congestion, less non-essential traffic helps essential journeys; and

- giving our streets back to people for shopping, socialising and playing.

The simple truth is that less motor traffic is key to achieving all the objectives listed above.

We know a car is essential for some trips, but not nearly all; and the more that people walk or cycle shorts trips instead of using cars, the better it is for their health and for essential traffic, including emergency services, buses and delivery vehicles.

That’s a win-win, isn’t it?

If more people travelled by train, we wouldn’t be seeing headlines like this 😕 🚆 🌳
