London has shown what is possible when a major city refuses to accept dirty air as inevitable. The world's largest clean air zone of its kind, cleaner buses and bold borough-level action have together cut harmful pollutants far faster than the experts predicted.

In 2013, Brent applied to the Mini-Holland funding. In the council's submission #WaysToWembley you can find some substantial arguments in support of cycling. democracy.brent.gov.uk/documents/s2.... The barriers are known and well understood. 1/n

Great news: @ategov.bsky.social plans guidance to "design safer streets" for women. www.gov.uk/government/n... Bad news: no mention of women cycling in release. Something our Women's Network has written entire reports on lcc.org.uk/campaigns/wo... & @cyclinguk.bsky.social have campaigned on. Plus...

Nationwide plans announced to design safer streets as 9 in 10 women report feeling unsafe walking at night
