Bristol & the West of England call themselves a City & Region of Sanctuary. However, many are excluded from it due to high bus fares. A day ticket is £6.50, almost a full day’s income for someone seeking asylum.
Connection, safety & opportunity should never depend on a bus fare.
Hi @GWRHelp it’s not ok to cancel reservations because your electronics is not working. We have it on our tickets, we are a large group and it causes serious issues for families who cannot co-locate on a busy train! Cc @trains_for_kids
@ChimeraX2021@GWRHelp@trains_for_kids Make trains more family friendly, not restrict busy trains to 5 carriages (the 10:03 is a known issue, train crew have been highlighting for months). Honour paper reservations. Quite a lot actually - check out @trains_for_kids lfor more information
It’s ridiculous that there is currently no safe crossing. It’s not ok to just say ‘crossing not in use’. It needs to be lights for cyclists and pedestrians or the crossing reinstated.
Can something PLEASE be done about Wade street @EdPlowden@BristolCouncil? It’s so dangerous for cyclists & pedestrians and is a major route. I was almost squashed by a zealous taxi driver today whilst I was waiting for the lights to cross to Riverside park cc @BristolCycling
@sharpe_le@SaulStaniforth@susannareid100@JOwusuNepaul Why should healthy people pay for the sick? Why should non-car drivers subsidise the roads? Why should the rich subsidise the poor? It’s just a nonsense argument when it’s loan companies profiteering. Doesn’t even cover the cost. At the very least it should be a 0 interest loan.
👉 Major air pollution sources in the UK are transport (especially from diesel vehicles) and wood burning.
👉 Policies that reduce air pollution improve health!. #mumsforlungs
Did you know that:
👉 The UK has one of the highest rates of childhood asthma in Europe.
👉 Air pollution is a known asthma trigger. When pollution levels are high, there are more hospital admissions for people with lung conditions, including asthma and COPD.
@humoorrer@jaimaa@GordonDimmack@airindia They don’t have to pay compensation but they do have a duty of care including providing accommodation or access to food/water.
