No one wants to spend their Easter weekend stuck in traffic.
So we're lifting more than a thousand miles of roadworks over Easter.
And to save you money, we've frozen fuel duty and delivered record funding to fix potholes.
Drivers — I'm on your side.
This is the official Police response to whether children can play in the street.
Motornormativity exists everywhere, in this case, prioritising the potential feelings of drivers over the independence of children. How utterly depressing.

Kensington & Chelsea’s draft 25/26 budget increases children’s table tennis fee by 96.3% while to park the most polluting car increases by 4.1%
It will be cheaper to park a diesel G-wagon than for a child to play table tennis
Oh adult table tennis fees ⬆️ 96.9% to £15.75/hr🤑
New research from @livingstreets shows that people who walk or wheel to do their shopping spend more money and pedestrianised high streets see bigger sales. https://t.co/bVimShc19Y
So to recap…
Bus fare cap ⬆️ 50%
Rail fares ⬆️ 4.6%
Rail cards ⬆️ by £5
Fuel duty… still frozen.
Gov talks of delivering on the environment yet undermines itself by failing to adequately tax our most polluting forms of transport & support the most sustainable. #Budget2024
Analysis by Greener Journeys found that the fuel duty freeze has cost HM Treasury £50 billion in lost income, has led to 5% more traffic, 250 million fewer bus journeys, 75 million fewer rail journeys, an extra 5 million tonnes of CO₂ and an extra 15,000 tonnes of NOx emissions.
