Are you affected by #PavementParking? @Sustrans wishes to raise awareness, esp. for children, older people, people with visual impairments or reduced mobility, & call upon Gov to take action in England. We’re filming in #Southampton on 25th Jan ’23. Please DM!

We're back with another #RoadSafetyWeek tip: A person cycling is somebody’s child, sibling, parent, grandparent or partner. Help keep them safe when you’re overtaking by leaving a space of at least 1.5 metres. If you cannot do so, do not pass. 🚴

A fantastic Active Travel Day @BethanyJunior yesterday. Well done all the pupils & families who #walked #cycles #scooted & #wheeled to school. Great conversations on air quality with a reminder that 150 balloons worth of toxic fumes are released from an idling car every minute!

Such a fantastic point and great photos. We need free range children! And we need to create spaces that make that possible.
We are unable to operate a car for the first 16 years of our lives, yet we still build cities that require it.
By giving children a way to travel independently, we liberate them, and liberate their parents from the role of chauffeur thrawrted upon them.

“What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and wildness? Let them be left.
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.”
