When I was a council candidate Morgan helped me get elected, I was very grateful for his advice and hard work then and the Labour Party should be very thankful for everything he has done not just in 2024 but over many years. He will be back I’m sure.

I remember being told that it would take 193 years to reach legal limits for nitrogen dioxide. I decided this was unacceptable. Thanks to the bold policies we put in place, we've managed to do it in nine years - 184 years earlier than expected.

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

❗ New car bonnets are becoming 0.5cm higher every year, growing from an average of 76.9 cm in 2010 to 83.8 cm in 2024. These supersized cars crowd out space in cities and are more dangerous in a crash. Our new study with @transenv.bsky.social 👇 cleancitiescampaign.org/research-lis... #carspreading

New analysis of relationship between car weight and fatal collision rates in the UK finds “ppl driving heavier cars are disproportionately involved in more fatal collisions”. Particularly the case for those involving other cars or pedestrians. Available here: www.researchgate.net/publication/...
FIGURE 2: Average Annual Fatal Collisions per 1 Million Cars by Weight Category (2019-2023)

Key findings:

Lighter cars (500-1000kg) have the lowest fatal collision rates per million cars across all collision types, indicating a lower relative risk compared to heavier
cars.

As car weight increases, the number of
fatal collisions rises, peaking at 26.2 for
the heaviest cars (2001-2500kg)
suggesting a higher likelihood of
involvement in fatal collisions. This trend is consistent for Car-Car and Car-
Pedestrian collisions.

In Car-Bike collisions, lighter cars have
the lowest fatal collision rates per million cars, indicating they are less likely to be involved in fatal collisions with cycles compared to heavier cars, which show consistent fatality rates for cars in categories above 1001kg.
