Due to the speed and manner of staff sackings, and the threat to remove controls making Twitter an even less safe space to communicate, we have decided to leave twitter @elonmusk #OneTeam

Did you know 1/4 of car and van trips in England are under 2 miles? Some short journeys do need to be made by car, but many can be walked or cycled instead. Choosing #ActiveTravel for short trips where possible is better for health, good for the environment & can save money too.

@Sustrans It would make a huge difference if that 55% who could did start using alternatives to the car.

@BBCPanorama @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Very shocking - lots of people dehumanise anything outside of their armoured vehicle. Is the problem the attachment to cars and percieved personal space as most motorbike riders give the same stories as cyclists. Car drivers are also the biggest killers of pedestrians.

@Feargal_Sharkey Shame on you @SouthWestWater

[Twickenham School @Twickenhamsch]

Thank you to @RecFriendsof for having us come along to the official opening of Jubilee Meadows. What a wonderful and appropriate way to end Go Green Week and the half term for Twickenham School!

@jwgcoombs The gas works have dragged on and on - Cadent are now redigging holes and parking / leaving their gear so both sides of the pavements on side roads are blocked. Gas is and will always be a fossil fuel and is being phased out for home heating. Work not needed?

@RichmondCycling Lovely and accurate advise - Women do not like exercising in public even in the light

[Living Streets @livingstreets]

A new study shows Britain’s congested roads are preventing people from walking their local journeys, affecting the health of millions of people.

E-bike is a great way of getting around

[Walk Wheel Cycle Trust @WalkWheelCycleT]

“From the first day of getting the bike, I felt the benefits of being able to leave work when I chose and not having to monitor my time or risk missing the bus.”

@MakeSpaceforGi1 Great space and love the idea of surrounding the sports area with people. Could do with a bit of the green stuff around to improve airquality and nature

Incentivised walking and active travel infrastructure is needed - boroughs in London have shown this can work

[LondonLivingStreets @LDN_LS]

NB the @MayorofLondon has (as of Jan 2022) a target of 27% reduction in traffic volumes in London (from 2018 base) by 2030. Vital to deliver this as it will have huge benefits for London #VisionZero goals (no deaths or serious injuries on London's roads by 2041) too.

Impacts health too

[Living Streets @livingstreets]

Sitting in traffic does not benefit anyone - or the economy!🏎️🛵🚗🏍️

It has never been more vital that we stand up for #ActiveTravel. We need to tell the new Government why walking matters.

⬇️Tell your MP today ⬇️

💰🩺Do you know how high the health costs of air pollution are?

📉 Better walking environments and investment in #ActiveTravel can help reduce air pollution and these costs.

Ask your MP to stand up for walking ➡️

@CllrSeema LTNs make great neighbourhoods - I know I have lived in one for over 10 years.🙂 Well done on your work on this.

@jwgcoombs The boundary fence with the cemetery is purposely being left unrepaired with holes for wildlife. Once the hedges planted by Hounslow and Richmond mature along there the fence will be removed to permanently remove barriers which cause a lot of harm.

[Walk Wheel Cycle Trust @WalkWheelCycleT]

With fuel prices soaring and the cost of living crisis worsening, owning and driving a car is increasingly unaffordable. Now, more than ever, the Government must protect investment in #ActiveTravel, so people don't have to depend on cars for local trips 👇https://t.co/2OEjFKBK9d

Stay and Get Healthy, and save money. Our local infrastructure is perfect for walking
