We hope this boost for walking, wheeling & cycling goes ahead because many roads in @wealdendistrict are hostile to #activetravel bbc.com/news/articles/c2vwzg…

The new report by @IPPR, supported by @wearecyclinguk, shows that spending on walking, wheeling & cycling is one of the most secure investments that a government can make, with twice the value for money than road building. Read the report: ow.ly/SPw550QyfQr 📸: @davewalker
