This means, even if you choose your top candidate on other grounds, their stance on our 3 asks might make a difference to how you rank the rest of the candidates.

Hi Sally, yes - I support these asks. I haven't received anything from @walkwheelcycle but I will email now to confirm my support. I am committed to improving our active travel and public transport links in the region if elected. (1/3)

As an avid cyclist and advocate of accessibility for all, I support @walkwheelcycle 's pledge. We need to get rid of the multiple barriers, like affordability and poor infrastructure, to folks mobility.
