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.

TfL Cycle Sundays are bringing unlimited free 60-minute rides back this July with Santander Cycles. Cycling is a great way to explore London. I’d encourage everyone to take up these free Sunday bike rides, with more than 50 beginner-friendly routes available. tfl.gov.uk/modes/cyclin...

Brent didn't secure funding on the Mini-Holland bid, sadly. However, what happened to the stated ambition and long-term vision? The plans were sound and supported by well researched evidence still relevant today but far more urgent now to ensure Brent is resilient in the climate emergency. 5/n

Solutions were proposed with a borough-wide cycling network that would serve every communities in Brent, linking town centres. This broad original network could have been built upon throughout the years, with quiet ways in-between, making cycling a more convenient option available to all. 2/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
New government guidance will be issued to councils to help them consider how to make their streets safer for women and girls.
