How accessible are the bus stops where you live? Our latest report highlights problems like:
• Not enough space to manoeuvre a wheelchair
• No dropped kerb
• No seating
• No timetables - or timetables that are too small or high up for people to read.

The Budget is a chance to make aviation pay its fair share. Flying is the most carbon-intensive form of travel, yet aviation fuel remains tax-free. We're calling for a kerosene tax, a frequent flyer levy & higher APD on private jets to fund better local transport & cut emissions.
ALT Billboard advocating reform of aviation taxes to make higher contributors pay more, listing ending tax-free fuel, frequent flyer levy, and higher private jet passenger charges.
Better bus services, please! Not managed decline. Mayor Bristow must live up to his promise to 'Get Cambridgeshire Moving!'

Could health do for transport what it did for smoking?
Car-first streets mean crashes, pollution, noise, stress, inactivity and isolation.
Public health changed smoking by making the risks impossible to ignore.

#Bedford 27-9-26 to 27-10-26. Between 21:00 and 06:00, excluding Fridays and Saturday night, bus services will be unable to access the bus station in Bedford.
All passengers will be dropped off and picked up from St Paul's Square during the periods of closure
Of interest to people using Sidgwick Avenue is the upcoming work to improve the currently dreadful state for those walking and wheeling. There's also a survey which closes October 19th.

Eight weeks of gas works have also got under way near Addenbrooke’s Hospital on Hills Rd.

🚍 1 in 7 people in England are at risk of being left behind by inadequate bus services. We're calling on the Gov to use the Budget to invest an extra £300m a year in local buses to reconnect communities, boost opportunities and ensure everyone can access a decent bus service.

The impact of bus franchising and local control is being truly felt in St Helens - the step change and investment is impressive.
One of the biggest problems with trying to run a decent bus service is the impact of congestion - all the other vehicles clogging up the roads. This report might be 10 years old but the points it makes are still true today.
