Pompey Street Space

We want Portsmouth streets made healthier and safer to walk, wheel and cycle on. The need’s been there for ages, COVID has just heightened it. Join the debate.

Why are people who have never or rarely cycled so sure what cyclists and would-be cyclists will and won’t do on infrastructure cyclists have mostly never had?

Government could put strong limits into the Environment Bill tomorrow, which would ensure bolder action and less sick kids and adults. We want to see this happen!

Air pollution remains the greatest environmental threat to our health. The UK Government has an opportunity to safeguard future generations’ health for years to come by putting ambitious #AirPollution targets into law. @matthancock #VoteCleanAir https://t.co/cSFHY0HsgR

@allpartycycling Some interesting history on K&C and cycle lanes in this little film: https://t.co/qZKVekX0tg

[Pompey Street Space @PompStreetSpace]

Does this ring true for you? Had a bad experience on your bike and not been on it for a while? Some of the responses might be helpful ♥️ #bekindtoyourself

[Sarah 🍓 @SarahJ_Berry]

Guys I need your help.

My last cycle was a bad one. I wrote about it here.

The thing is, I haven’t been able to get back on my bike since. https://t.co/g7T4rRDZMV

'Nor is there any subliminal message to be found in clouds that tower over the blocks of flats in the distance, whilst the foreground is littered with partially discernible shapes, whose seaworthiness is uncertain from the information in front of us.'

@michael98166844 nope. Probably best to wait until it’s colder and darker

[Pompey Street Space @PompStreetSpace]

#ElmGrove what a difference 5 months doesn’t make 😕

[Pompey Street Space @PompStreetSpace]

@caterneil It’s not a cycle lane in any meaningful sense of the phrase

Long before the pandemic, people with lung disease were being left behind in diagnosis, treatment and care. Read more in Michael Marmot's introduction to our five year plan: https://t.co/f0xigMo7GH

Unintended consequences of something that’s so obviously good for an individual and bad for a whole community.

This is why good councils aren’t driven by the anger of the minority and act for the good of the majority. If they don’t, ultimately, even the angry people loose...

[Mik Scarlet @MikScarlet]

If you truly can't see the design flaws in some of the schemes that doesn't mean they aren't there. That's why we are pointing them out. So together we can find solutions, build better infrastructure & create a future that benefits all.
Surely that's what we all want?

@PaulKitchenMan Plus being bombarded daily with social cues that they are a more valuable person if they are in a car

[Pompey Street Space @PompStreetSpace]

Why are people who have never or rarely cycled so sure what cyclists and would-be cyclists will and won’t do on infrastructure cyclists have mostly never had?

[Pompey Street Space @PompStreetSpace]

@PaulKitchenMan Maybe. Reckon it’s mostly a lack of imagination, borne out of things like going through an education system that throttles imagination wherever it should have an opportunity to flourish
