Come and work with me to show the world (ok, mainly England) that in response to practically any question #activetravel is the answer…

[MrsW @JoWaddi]

@rabonour Yep and they are getting louder with the trend towards bigger and heavier vehicles with wider tyres. But hey, there's more profit for manufacturers in bigger vehicles and that's good for the economy, so we're all better off, right? 🤔🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Ah yes. The "but some kids might ride motor cycles some times which might annoy some people on the odd occasion therefore we are making this inaccessible to everyone" classic.

Bin this shit.

We don't put barriers on dual carriageways due to boy racers; let's not do this either.

An important plea to journalists on upcoming changes to the Highway Code. Please see and promote the changes for what they are - an attempt to save lives. 👇

@markhipwell1990 It’s another one of those “anti-grandad pushing a double buggy devices”

[20's Plenty for Us @20splentyforus]

On most A roads through communities setting a 20mph limit would not increase journey times which are determined by too many cars rather than too little speed. Hence a 20mph limit increases safety, decreases noise and pollution, and makes those places more liveable.

We very much welcome Chris Boardman’s appointment to Active Travel England.

[Greater Manchester Police @gmpolice]

We are teaming up with @TraffordCouncil to crack down on illegal matchday parking at Old Trafford. Over the Christmas period, we issued 779 penalty charge notices to vehicles parked illegally. Those caught face a fine of up to £70. Read more here - https://t.co/hGp4cX4AnF

@TheresaHall15 Congratulations Theresa. 🎉

Plenty of people cheer the loophole lawyer’s successes but phone use at the wheel remains fatal for many.

[Giselle du Toit @GiselleduToit]

Reminder that the final (?) consultation on the Levenshulme & Burnage Active neighbourhood plans is live, extended deadline to Sunday 30 January 2022.
It's set up to comment on each area individually, but right at the end there's opportunity to discuss the scheme as a whole. 1/2

"When a Prime Minister is spending his time trying to convince the great British public that he is stupid rather than dishonest, isn't it time that he should go?" #PMQs

@PeteZanzottera Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Panorama on BBC1 reports that the spending on roads policing in England and Wales has fallen by around 30% in 6 years

@JodieMcNallyEYF @The_Lowry Was a real treat! Even the grumpy 13 year-old admitted he enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendation. 👍
