@LBHF here’s some great advice from @SustransLondon. The local community in South Fulham would welcome Wandsworth Bridge Road being made safe for cyclists and pedestrians, to provide a thriving local high-street to the South Fulham 15 minute village.
This is what we think neighbourhoods are all about. And we want London Mayoral candidates to think the same. sustrans.org.uk/campaigns/ou… What do you think?

Hey @RishiSunak such a shame you don’t have the vision of other world leaders, this quote is one of my favourites for what I believe to be a better future. You, sadly, offer no hope for a better, more convivial, future UK. – at Sutton, London

What is going on with your Young Savers interest rates @MetroBank_Help? Is this the best you can offer? 1.65% AER yet base rate is 5.25%. Appalling, can’t you do better for kids saving for their future? – at Sutton, London

.@TfL @swtrainsuser lots of people at Brentford Station waiting for the next train - no signage on platform to say ALL TRAINS CANCELLED UNTIL 8PM. Where’s the rail replacement service?? #stranded

In May 2017, on Putney Bridge in London, an unidentified male jogger forcefully pushed a woman walking on a pedestrian walkway into the path of an oncoming bus. The man calmly continued jogging without a pause or change in pace, even as the woman fell backward onto the road. The bus driver skillfully swerved just moments before impact, narrowly avoiding hitting her. The bus stopped, and people poured out to help her. Bizarrely and brazenly the jogger eventually proceeded to jog the opposite side of the bridge, where the victim confronted him. He ignored her. CCTV footage of the attempted murder went viral, and photos of the man circulated on the internet. During the course of the year long investigation, several people were arrested for the crime. None were charged. Despite the city’s vast CCTV network, the jogging man has never been identified. The police closed the case in 2018 after the leads dried up.

@Ergoflex Such poor customer service. Chosen delivery date that was confirmed by #ergoflex yet not happening with #DPD. Unacceptable excuse too. – at Dartford, South East

Spent 6h driving to events yesterday, utterly stressful & hours of dead time (Pile of work left to do when I got in) Today - Bournemouth by train & on to Oxford. Could work, dose & get everything done whilst traveling. No parking stress or cost. Driving is not freedom. Trains are

Hey @LBHF ! Could you please make sure that your street cleaners don’t destroy adopted tree bases? This is the devastation I have just found! 2nd picture is how it looked a few days ago. I am furious! Not the first time. Every time I am assured it won’t happen again.

27 children, a classful, are killed or seriously injured every 19 days, and we want to solve this by asking children to hold adults' hands and not cross the road between parked cars, in 'fun road safety related activities'. You couldn't make it up.🤦‍♀️roadsafetygb.org.uk/news/eve…

A moment of reckoning yesterday when this guy pulled out into the path of my husband and kids in the cargo bike. We are dedicated to making sustainable transport choices and won’t let this change that but VERY lucky they were not travelling faster. Kids shaken, not cool, at all

Letter from police - they plan to send driver for driver awareness training, not prosecute. Anyone have experience successfully appealing and getting a prosecution. Pulled out on a bike with 2 kids in the front, with tinted glass, afterwards, said cyclist should have seen him.
