What a difference a day made.

Democracy in action in LB #Bromley #LocalElection2022 as voters reduced the Tories' majority from 40 to 14, the lowest margin since the 1998 election, heralding a more equitable, more democratic, more representative #BromleyCouncil. 🧵1/

SUVs have launched an assault on our future.

These oversized, high-emission vehicles are choking our cities, fuelling the climate crisis, and putting all of us in danger. 🚙💨

If we don’t act soon, we’ll all be under their wheels.

A car parked in a cycle lane forces bikes, inc children & less confident cyclists, into the path of moving traffic. That’s where serious injuries happen.

If you wouldn’t park in the middle of a traffic lane, pls don’t park in a cycle lane.

They’re there to keep people safe. 🙏

[20's Plenty for Us @20splentyforus]

Some say cars are getting safer

They are still made of steel and weigh 1-3 tons
Regardless of powerful brakes, low speed stopping is dependent on thinking time and tyre/road friction
Physics says Kinetic Energy is proportional to speed squared

It's why #20splenty wherever people are.

2026 report from ITDP, UC Davis & FIA Foundation: “Compact Cities Electrified: The Benefits of Smaller Vehicles” shows how smaller vehicles and electrification, plus shifts to transit, walking & cycling can transform #transport.

• −70% energy demand
• −85% liquid fuel use
• ½ consumer costs
• −⅔+ emissions

Last year the number of deaths on London's roads fell 13% - one of the lowest years on record.

However, people being seriously injured has increased. There's much more work to do.

Our bold new Action Plan sets out how we'll make London's streets safer:

"Crear calles más seguras que faciliten caminar, ir en bici y usar el transporte público es lo que define a una ciudad de primer nivel. El futuro no son vehículos autónomos ni taxis voladores; se trata de hacer que las calles funcionen para las personas" https://t.co/dZbT1YSVg5

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

I want to get more Londoners walking.

To make that happen, our streets need to be safer and cleaner.

Together with TfL, I'm setting out an action plan for new crossings, safer routes to school and clearer pavements so more Londoners can walk every day.

These 2 videos perfectly depict what it’s like cycling in London. You can go from safe streets to traffic madness in just a few pedals.

It’s so important that London keeps working to ensure everyone can get from A-B safely. Then we’ll see even more choosing to get around by bike

[Trolleywise @Trolleywise]

Did you know abandoned trolleys can end up far from stores — causing hazards and clutter?

Help change that — one quick report makes a difference.

📲 Spot one? Report it with the free TrolleyWise app.

[Bob From Accounts 🚲 @BobFromAccounts]

Very few people actually need a private vehicle in London; it's an absolute luxury, yet these vehicles account for 35% of daily traffic congestion. Perhaps it’s time to consider increasing the congestion charge and implementing a pay-per-mile @MayorofLondon

Selling social isolation as freedom to people has been one of the most impressive marketing stunts of the 20th century.

[Will Norman @willnorman]

One of the many benefits of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods is that they make streets safer for cycling.

We're working with boroughs to route bike routes through LTNs - with filters & safe crossings of main roads.

Great to see the new Cycleway 37 in Hackney 🚲💚

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

London has been named the world’s number one city for culture 🏆👏🏾

Our capital’s culture reflects the extraordinary creativity, diversity and global influence that defines our city - and contributes billions to the UK economy.

#LocalElections2026: 19 of the top 30 candidates by total vote count are from wards in the London Borough of Bromley.

[Russell Curtis @russellcurtis]

Within the top 30 by total vote count there are 25 Conservative candidates, 4 independents and only one Labour candidate (at number 30).

[Russell Curtis @russellcurtis]

Here's my interactive map of last week's local election in London showing every candidate for every ward in every borough - all in one place.

Zero Tolerance to this anti-social behaviour.

This bloke deserves a minimum £5,000 fine and six points on his driving licence.

[Mike Bloomberg @MikeBloomberg]

Road traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for young people, yet they remain overlooked. We can change that. That’s why @bloombergdotorg is committing $350 million to make streets safer and support cycling infrastructure worldwide.
