When we're told we're a "nation of drivers", so many of us are excluded.
We need safe streets, accessible pavements, comprehensive cycle and mobility networks and high quality public transport in order to provide #MobilityJustice and #Equity to all.

🧵 Across the East, around 1.3 of the 2.5 million owned cars are electric. These are supported by just over 1,000 public charging points.

By 2025 the number of private EV’s in our region could be between 164,000 - 280,000 requiring at least 7,400 public charging points

[Transport East @transporteast]

We made the case for investment in the East's road network to the @transportgovuk Minster for Roads at the @EastEnglandAPPG. Safe, reliable and resilient roads are essential to day to day journeys, the regional economy and national freight movements through our ports.

@FirstEssex @transportgovuk @hmtreasury @vickyford @SGH_Essex Oh it's not First's fault Tamsin! It's poor infrastructure and too many people driving cars. But thank you for the apology.
