@Chris_Boardman Absolutely! We shouldn't have to go to court to fight for investment in healthy travel choices. But we do, and we are.
Please help us raise another £12,000 for our judicial review of the decision to cut active travel funding https://t.co/LzlcxombFo

Please help us to raise £40k https://t.co/LzlcxombFo
