@grm_uk@BramhallNatalie@meet_mark22@SurreyCouncil@reigatebanstead@ReigateBeat Council has probably done the right thing. Generally you can’t build enough parking - people will always push the limits. Give everyone 1 space, some will get 2 cars, give 2 & people get a 3rd car. You don’t solve the parking issue, you just end up with more cars & traffic.
@JulianEllacott The diesel emissions scandal broke in 2014
The government lost legal cases on air pollution in 2015, 2016 & 2018.
The government said it was the responsibility of local government.
You think too hasty?
How many kids’ health are you prepared to sacrifice?
@barbedquill Most EVs have a thermal management system, which helps protect the battery in cold weather. Often people just leave E-bikes in cold garages over winter & the battery gets damaged. If you have removable battery, it’s worth storing inside during cold spells.
@JulianEllacott It’s usually quite a good measure. If leading air pollution scientists https://t.co/QFK9GuD5vp are pro & shouty people with yellow placards are anti - it gives a good indication. It could be better but you’re holding a paper saying ‘stop ULEZ’ not ‘improve ULEZ’.
@awjre It’s status quo bias. As E-scooters are change, people look at the negatives, whereas they are already ‘priced in’ to existing modes. Interestingly the replacing walking argument is used against making local buses free - which again is a change from status quo.
Hmmm @CycleRandR @CyclingSurrey there seems to be some actual enforcement of yellow lines going on. Not taken in the more troublesome areas so it might just be the easy ones they're going after but its a start. If only the govt had done something on pavement parking...
Surrey county councillors spending your taxes. You all like filthy air don’t you?
It is odd that nobody can reply to these tweets. Almost as though they don’t want a stream of photos of asthma inhalers to follow them everywhere 🦖🚗💨
@RedhillGreens @MayorofLondon@SurreyCouncil Nb: Not big £ but worth highlighting Surrey recently got c. £4m in second round of bus service improvement plan funding https://t.co/llWv2exPXQ
