Today is #WorldCarFreeDay !🚗
🌎Transport is responsible for about 25% of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions (@WHO)
🚶If you are planning a short journey today, why not walk, wheel, or cycle, or combine it with public transport for longer journeys?
@STyne_Council @RiseNorthEast1 @transport_north This pic basically sums up today: soaked through, brownies gone, but the biggest smiles on our faces 😊😊
Today felt like a really good day to launch South Tyneside’s FIRST EVER School Streets!! We joined families at @simonsideschool to throw a street party complete with breakfast, a smoothie bike, and traffic-free roads for children to PLAY in! And boy, it did not disappoint.
@STyne_Council @RiseNorthEast1 @transport_north Day two of School Streets celebrations, this time we joined families at St Mary’s! We definitely weren’t blessed with good weather today but we had just as much fun! Not even the rain can dampen the joy of a free breakfast, a peddle on the smoothie bike, and safer streets 😎
📣 New #SchoolStreet alert!
Two #Jarrow primary schools are celebrating the start of trial street closures at peak times outside their schools this week to help create a safer, healthier environment.
Thanks to @STyne_Council for helping us make this happen!
Busy day of delivering Dr Bike at Simonside and St Mary’s with @AliAtSchool … and getting drenched whilst doing so 🤨 lush to know there’s so many children able to spend their summer holidays riding their bikes safely again!
I think ticket offices at railway stations are one of those things that remind of what a society should actually be. Real jobs and real interactions , and community can sometimes be placed above shareholder dividends. It's a choice we can make. #SaveTicketOffices
@simonsideschool All of this alongside meetings, visits to other local cycling charities, and some dr bike training 💪 slowly but surely feel this project coming together
Long time no update on my progress delivering School Streets in South Tyneside (but really no news is good news as I’ve been chockablock with school delivery and engagement (as well as enjoying a much-needed holiday….)) 👀
@simonsideschool I’ve also had the delight of working with the Eco Committees at @simonsideschool and St Mary’s to plan promo campaigns for their School Streets. Seeing children passionate and empowered in their mission to tackle the climate crisis deffo gives me hope for our future 🌎
Amazing stuff from a party claiming readiness to form a serious government. What’s financial stability under environmental & societal collapse? Socio-economic justice is incompatible with the climate crisis. Any party unaccepting of this is unfit to lead. https://t.co/H3ZSGdeP3Q
