This morning’s 30min walk to Gorseinon: - 5 phone drivers, one stopped on the zigzags outside a Primary School - Almost hit by a Virgin Media van driving on the pavement - saw me last second - Three cars no front number plate - Gas works, a closed pavement and zero provision for pedestrians

This is demonstrably, measurably improving the health of the people who live there. Most notably, it increases the respiratory *& cognitive* health of children. They literally do better in school. If this country really gave a shit about children, this would be at the top of the public-policy list.

There are two questions these people need to answer: 1. How does a vehicle approaching from behind that is about to hit you sound different from a vehicle approaching from behind that is about to miss you? 2. If it did sound different, what action could a rider take in one second or thereabouts?

2. Clean indoor air: helpful in a pandemic and good for health and learning at all times (and not just in schools but other buildings too) 3. Effective public health measures: testing, contact tracing, support for isolation, communication, etc 10/12
