Today is #WorldAsthmaDay! Summer isn’t always an easy season when you have a lung condition. Things like hay fever, air pollution and hot weather can make breathing more difficult and stop you doing the things you love. This summer we want to inspire you with ways to achieve your summer goals.

Since the 20mph default speed limit the data shows in the first year there have been 26% fewer crashes and a 28% fall in casualties Councils need to take care about which roads revert to 30mph. This says it all: youtu.be/k2tOye9DKdQ?...

Those spreading lies and misinformation are not interested in the victims, they are interested in themselves. The priority is the action that has been absent for the past decade, not faux outrage from those who failed to act
