@Boenau British kids prefer to cycle in heavy traffic & feel the real adrenaline rush, as VC advocates believe...

@TfL @SarahWoodberryD @HackneyLabour @carowoodley @LondonAssembly please can some bollards, trees or bike hoops be added to prevent this dangerous pavement parking taking place at the entrance to Hackney New Primary School? Thank you #PavementDriving #PavementParking #Danger

Shouldn’t planting beds have been built into the paving here @SarahWoodberryD like in the plans?
The last thing we need is another big area that a vehicle can #pavementpark on, especially when the road surface is raised as part of the planned speed table. Thanks for checking.🌱

London’s low-traffic zones ‘cut deaths and injuries by more than a third’
Study also finds no change in number of casualties on roads just outside low-traffic neighbourhoods

With the obesity and overweight epidemic costing the UK £126 billion a year, I'd say the culture wars over cycling, active travel, and encouraging people out of a sedentary lifestyle have already affected the nation's health.

This is the THIRD pedestrian death in Hackney in 2025. The second caused by an HGV on a main road. We need to have safer lorries and main roads that allow pedestrians to cross safely. These were not people running carelessly across the road. https://t.co/XStdtBd24x

I live on a cycling route in Hackney and have had a Telraam cycle counter for 6 months. Yesterday, it recorded an impressive 2,441 cycles, despite not counting overlapping cyclists or tracking at night.

Provide people with safe routes to cycle, the results speak for themselves

[Hoxton Low Traffic Neighbourhood - Needed! @LTNHoxtonSt]

We really hope the Hoxton LTN will be announced soon, actual traffic reduction is vital in Hoxton, especially around Hoxton Street. Under 30% of people in this area have a car. Walking and cycling should be safe, easy and prioritised by design by @hackneycouncil @SarahWoodberryD

Some of the best before-and-after transformations of streets & places come from Vienna, a city that showed even when you’re already one of the best cities in the world, you can constantly keep getting better by rethinking space for cars. Via former Deputy Mayor @BirgitHebein.

Work to remove the St Paul's gyratory in the City of London starts next month - this transformational scheme will create a stunning new public space & bring significant improvements for the 1000s of people walking & cycling in the area.
