Do take time to have a look at the amazing plans from
@CamdenCouncil and @AdamDKHarrison for the re-invention of the Holborn area as a place for people. So good!

Fortunately *people* CAN reach the railway station without passing a congestion charge point. Methods include:
* Bus
* Walking
* Cycling
* Taxi
* Park and Ride
* In a car, get someone to drop you off in Botley Road and walk or wheel through walkway.

Good to see proposals coming forward at roughly the same time Oxford Street and a much more pedestrian friendly Regent St area. Really need to link these up to other schemes for a car-lite West End.

Why isn’t this bit of Camden passage pedestrianised? This is the gateway that draws people down from Angel. Also home to two very popular cafes who I’m sure would love to expand their outdoor seating.

Mildmay is set to become Islington’s first Liveable Neighbourhood with safer streets, more greenery, and reduced traffic. After years of planning and resident input, these improvements will create a cleaner, more vibrant community. Worth the wait!

If only road crashes were dealt with in the same way as train crashes. Imagine if someone was killed or seriously injured every 17 minutes on a train. It wouldn’t be allowed to continue. But perfectly acceptable on our roads.

What does it mean to feel like you belong in a space?
Our recent photography walk through central London with @MuslimahAsso, @FootwaysLondon and Manor Park Living Streets empowered women to explore new spaces with confidence.

It's not too late!
Write to Louise Haigh and urge her to scrap the roads programme left by the previous government and instead focus on maintenance, public transport and active travel.

A good mix of face to face meetings at City Hall and getting out of the office this week!
The @SaveBGstreets campaigners would love you to sign their Save our Safer Streets petition and having visited I can see why: go.saveoursaferstreets.org/p…
