Government could put strong limits into the Environment Bill tomorrow, which would ensure bolder action and less sick kids and adults. We want to see this happen!

Air pollution remains the greatest environmental threat to our health. The UK Government has an opportunity to safeguard future generations’ health for years to come by putting ambitious #AirPollution targets into law. @matthancock #VoteCleanAir bit.ly/35ZUZjN

Guys I need your help.
My last cycle was a bad one. I wrote about it here.
The thing is, I haven’t been able to get back on my bike since. link.medium.com/sLbfA3xITbb

Unintended consequences of something that’s so obviously good for an individual and bad for a whole community.
This is why good councils aren’t driven by the anger of the minority and act for the good of the majority. If they don’t, ultimately, even the angry people loose...

If you truly can't see the design flaws in some of the schemes that doesn't mean they aren't there. That's why we are pointing them out. So together we can find solutions, build better infrastructure & create a future that benefits all.
Surely that's what we all want?
