A slew of LCWIPs has been published by @hantsconnect to include "a prioritised programme of infrastructure improvement options for future investment" in walking and cycling. Watch this space for how to respond to your local version #Havant#Gosport#Fareham#Eastleigh#Romsey

There was massive growth in U.K. cycling from 1920s to 1930s; traffic census stats on individual roads show this in detail. In Greenford, the 886 cyclists of 1929 had grown to 4246 in 1936. Motor vehicles? Just 3004. Cyclists once dominated British roads. https://t.co/U9LUWK8fBo
JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.
To be taken seriously, if you must set a big #ClimateCrisis goal to 2050, such as complete carbon neutrality for a city or nation (companies shouldn’t take that long), then set early aggressive targets (mode shift, emissions reduction, etc) for 2 years, 5 years, 10 years etc.
There may be some exceptions, but I generally have a hard time taking any political #ClimateCrisis goal seriously that sets a deadline of 2050. That’s not a credible response to an emergency.
Short term holiday rentals in New Forest currently 1,259; of which 84% are whole houses. AirBnb et al take houses out of the market for local people to buy and keep prices high. No point building more which just get sold as investments. Time to think again! @CPRE
Okay — I overcame my embarrassment and admitted: I'VE NEVER CHANGED A FLAT TYRE ON A BIKE BEFORE. So Jeremy from Bideford Bicycle Hire gave me a 26-minute lesson without shaming me. Here it is, all his wisdom condensed to 2 mins. This is gold! Thanks Jeremy!
