Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary
I made this account to raise awareness of the fight to save my village, Binsted, from being destroyed
Happily our village is safe, but the fight continues to help other communities, not to mention our planet #NoNewRoads
“60 yrs on..hard to think many then saw shinkansen—now 🇯🇵’s public transport infra jewel in the 👑—as an indulgence & a costly anachronism in postwar age of prosperity+mobility where air+road wld surely rule”

Labour must scrap plans for the Shipley Eastern Bypass.
This was Philip Davies' pet project. Now he is no longer Shipley's MP this daft scheme must be consigned to history.
The money must be spent on better public transport & active travel in Shipley instead.

Stop Wensum Link: Call for action
Please share and encourage family, friends and colleagues to oppose the construction of this doomed road
Please click on the link below to register an objection
https://t.co/rI1NZIRJSu…
We urge you to join us in making a resolute stand against the proposed construction of this doomed road. The environmental and ecological repercussions of this development cannot be overstated.
Destruction of Biodiversity: The Wensum Valley stands as a sanctuary for rare habitats and hosts over 60 protected species. The implementation of this road would inflict irreversible harm upon these precious ecosystems, threatening ancient woodlands and the existence of a rare chalk stream.
Increased Carbon Emissions: The construction of the road would exacerbate CO2 emissions significantly, both during the building phase and due to induced traffic. Such actions directly contradict our collective commitments to curbing carbon emissions and striving for 'net-zero' status by 2050. The expansion of road infrastructure blatantly contradicts climate emergency declarations and the ongoing global efforts to decarbonize.
Mitigation Failures: History has shown that past mitigation efforts for similar projects, such as the Broadland Northway (formerly known as the Northern Distributor Road), have fallen short in safeguarding local wildlife effectively. Given this track record, we question the efficacy of proposed mitigation measures for the Wensum Link road. How can we trust that this time will be any different?
Together, let's amplify our voices, spread awareness, and mobilise against this detrimental project. We cannot let short-sighted decisions jeopardise the delicate balance of our environment and the future of our planet.
Spending £400m on a three-mile environmentally damaging road with minimal, if any, economic advantages is unjustifiable. These public funds could be utilised more effectively elsewhere.

Sunak-ering the planet? What do you think?
The Munch Society paint along the A34, just one of the ecologically disastrous road building projects in the UK Govts carbon busting Road Investment Strategy.

The Stonehenge Tunnel issue has become a pawn in the culture wars. Government couldn’t care less if the A303 scheme meets its “strategic aims”
Heritage, biodiversity, climate impact ignored, govt simply want to get their way. There’s no logic to it. #StopTheTunnel #NoNewRoads
3 of 3: The @NAOorguk said that Stonehenge scheme can not realise strategic aims unless ALL A303 schemes are built. But no future skint government will wish to fund the remaining schemes. So why damage World Heritage on a zombie road?

The North West Ring Road will decimate one of the last vestiges of beautiful countryside extending almost to the heart of the county town and widely known as Shrewsbury’s ‘Green Wedge’.

Just another example of National Highways “improving your journey”…
at vast expense to the taxpayer and with complete disregard for the pollution and chaos generated during construction

@KateM45 @SE10Peninsula @mtpennycook @TfL @SadiqKhan That’s why we say Repurpose Silvertown Tunnel for public transport and cycling only, for buses, trams or light rail, not HGVs.
New roads = more traffic as even @tfl modelling shows.
#NoNewRoads
All well and good.
But new roads mean more traffic.
Time to repurpose Silvertown Tunnel.
#NoNewRoads #EllasLaw
That’s why not only will I continue doing everything in my power to clean up London’s air, but I’ll continue putting pressure on the Government to do more to prevent further needless suffering and death, including by adopting ‘Ella’s law’. 3/3
➡️ IMPORTANT #Climate litigation case for the #WensumLink road brought by @Andrew9Boswell is happening now in London.

2023 smashes record for world’s hottest year by huge margin.
We urgently need robust and radical leadership to deal with this.

‘We can’t carry on’:
how to stop microplastics?
Slash the usage & production of 1.5 billion motor vehicles ❌
Each tyre produces 4kg of toxic particulates ❌
Fund Rail, Bus & E Bike networks 🌿

Three people rescued from car stuck in flood water on the A303. It’s time @NationalHways sorted out and repaired existing roads rather than continuing to build new ones. #climatechange #nonewroads @XRBristol https://t.co/P8N8L1Y3U7
The A303 closed due to flooding & likely to remain so for several days. Meanwhile climate change deniers @NationalHways plan to spend £2.5 billion on a tunnel at Stonehenge. What’s the point if the road is impassable just a few miles further west?
