Today’s powerful front page of the Birmingham Mail. These crashes are not one-off isolated incidents. Together, the faces of those who have lost their lives on our roads, show us the city needs to urgently change; reminding us of the scale of hurt for families and communities.

Fantastic article by @asmitasarkar30 @BhamWorld_ about how car excess impacts people in Hay Mills. 30 mph is a great start from @BhamCityCouncil but to truly prioritise the safety of residents more road space must be reclaimed for this community.

West Midlands Police have started feeding back on reports using cycle cameras. This is an important development. I can now be reassured about my judgement to report, and we can build confidence in this vital tool of road crime prevention. @davidcox65 @pushbikesbcc @adamtranter

@SaskiaMasaun_ Hi Saskia, we have very sophisticated counting data for the cycleway which would be a better overview than anecdotes. These are the average counts per weekday of users this year (1st January to 11th July 2023). So far in 2023, the Binley cycleway has seen 75,298 cycling trips.

Loads of energy, motivation and commitment at the @asthmalunguk campaigner conference in #Manchester. Honoured to represent @CleanAirJustice and speak about the importance of lobbying decision makers to tackle the inequity in air inequality.

💥💥💥💥 OBR: cost of NOT hitting net zero as much as DOUBLE the cost of achieving the climate target
V big from the Office for Budget Responsibility.... *Costs of NOT zero could be double the costs of reaching it* They find keeping relying on gas & crisis similar to today's every 10y (v possible as gas = volatile) adds 13% GDP to public debt by 2050 https://t.co/ymu9QiTpOf

How social media can distort perception of ‘opposition’ - study from @imperialcollege looking at 3 low traffic neighbourhoods - seemed high level anti on Twitter - but accounts anti measures had v few followers + sentiment not translated into election results #CycleCounty2023

Every 94 seconds we found a motorist using their phone behind the wheel, just metres from where 12-year-old Azaan Khan was killed while crossing the A45. Join us at 12pm this Sunday on the corner of Deakins Road - Coventry Road to show enough is enough.

In a one hour spot check, at least 38 motorists were scrolling and using their phones as they approached a pedestrian crossing where a young schoolboy was killed.

Tweets less than 24 hours apart from libertarian economist @RichardWellings In his worldview, buses are for the “relatively few” and flights are for the “general public.” Actually, 15% of Brits take 70% of all flights, and buses are egalitarian and non-elitist.
