Another tough day of steep hills #bikeforbutterflies. Just a few whites & browns in the hedgerows: we now have to go to 'special' places (Reserves) to see butterflies. I reject that! We should see them everywhere - help @savebutterflies achieve that https://t.co/1HlxYyMv8o

The liveable, inclusive, prosperous city isn’t a final destination, but a neverending journey that turns upkeep into opportunities for improvement.

In Delft’s Bagijnhof, scheduled sewage pipe replacement emptied the courtyard of parked cars and replaced them with an actual park.

Cllr Kieron Williams and a selection of Southwark Council staff met up with @willnorman, London's walking and cycling commissioner to check out some of the sites that have been transformed to improve road safety and boost green spaces.

The tour included a look at the UK’s first bookable loading bays on Walworth Road, traffic calming measures on Alberta Street and Braganza Street, as well as new pocket parks - designed to help kids play on the way to and from school.

Transport Secretary, @LouHaigh has unveiled her vision for integrated transport across England - & there's a lot to like, particularly her recognition that people need to be supported to make cleaner transport choices with safe, accessible streets.

Very important line here from @LouHaigh on road safety:

"We treat road safety in a way as if it is somehow a natural accident. If the number of people being killed or seriously injured on our roads, were being killed in any other way, we'd be treating it as a pandemic."
