@Hirst4EssexPFCC The Vision Zero strategy is failing to deliver the planned reductions in deaths and serious injuries on the roads of Essex. Do you acknowledge this and what would you change to remedy this? @AdamFoxUK @RobinTilbrook @k_afranks
Wow! @DerbysPolice and @DerbysPCC clearly don't take the safety of vulnerable road users seriously if this only merits a warning letter

Howard Cox talking utter nonsense and wanting children cycling to school to be registered. Reform really are unpleasant cranks.
Interesting to see one of the various council watch channels say that death threats to councillors are a strong clue that people don’t feel they are being listened to. I think they are a strong clue that there are thugs out there who should be before the courts.
Please complete this survey on your travel behaviour
Former Transport Minister Slams U.K. Government ‘Unwillingness’ To Fund Cycling forbes.com/sites/carltonr… @Jesse_Norman also chides those who spread conspiracy theories on 15-minute cities and "war on motorists." You know, like Transport secretary @Mark_J_Harper
Back of my Polling Card for local elections. For 1st time, photo ID is required. Card gives many options for elderly or those with disability. None, NONE, for younger or student voters. The policy is simply biased against younger voters, designed to suppress their vote.
Any Reform candidates left who haven't had to be removed?
Interesting to see that @ColcGreenParty are proposing a tidal lagoon generation plant in the Blackwater estuary. I wonder how big this is planned to be - Swansea's with much higher tidal range was planned to have 6 miles of sea walls.
If cyclists pulled over every time they saw a car approaching from behind in this situation they would be constantly waiting behind parked cars. The responsibility is with the driver not to overtake where there isn’t enough room for a safe overtake.

The rear view is even worse. So tedious having to report these idiots.
It must be local election time - lots of posts about street surgeries and pictures of councillors cleaning road signs and picking litter.

People on bicycles sometimes forget that the danger is not being run over directly, but in first getting entangled (classically with backpack or coat) and *then* being dragged under. All within two seconds. Big fan of @laurencyclist
Yes, this highlights the need for proper segregated lanes but gosh, had my heart in my mouth with this one. This is how cyclists get killed, it’s not worth your life going for that gap. 🫣

.@DerbysPolice how close does a driver have to pass a cyclist before you will take meaningful action? Warning letters are as useful as a chocolate teapot. Why are you allowing dangerous drivers to get away with it?
