Half term is so visibly over, right? 🚸 And it has a HUGE knock-on effect on traffic. 🚗 In some areas the school run has been reported to increase pollution and bus times by a staggering 50% compared to school holidays! How were your local roads last week? #londonparents

Expanding the statutory walking distance will only increase the number of families driving the school run and reduce access to schools for families without a car. We have to make roads safe for children to walk and cycle independently. This is how we reduce transport costs.
