This morning, Lisa and I met with officers to walk through improvements to York Road. We have been assured work will start this month on either end of the street to build out the kerbs and put in new planters. We will update you when we have more information. We also reported nearby flytipping.

Here’s what 15 mins can get you in walking (red), public transport (blue) and cycling (orange). How do we make sure this is attractive enough to get a decent chunk of the population to visit their local high street without their car?

The fact that the government is dragging its feet on a national pavement parking ban is a disgrace that is causing millions of vulnerable people to risk their lives because drivers are too lazy and selfish to park properly.

On the way to The Vac Clinic I got talking to lovely Eileen who told me she made a conscious decision not to drive 40 years ago because she could see there were too many cars on the road. Be more Eileen 💚

Plot twist: I also have a podcast out today with Marco te Brömmelstroet (and his coauthor, the equally brilliant @ianwalker.bsky.social) 😂 But seriously, the concept of motonormativity is so complex and important (and this research is so good!) that you should probably listen to both.

Wild that civic leaders everywhere don't look at what Paris has accomplished and say "I want that kind of legacy for my city too" but instead just continue to preside over unhealthy, unpleasant, and unsafe urban landscapes.

We haven’t got a dog so we’ve taken to walking the vac instead 😂 But in all seriousness, you don’t need a 2 tonne vehicle to collect your old vac from the The Vac Clinic!

We wrote to @heidialexander.bsky.social last week about the ongoing #Dieselgate scandal. There are still millions of diesel cars on UK roads creating excess emissions, affecting our #Health every day. Will the Government hold car manufacturers to account in the upcoming court case? #AirPollution

No shift to urban vitality is complete without improving access to active, social, and green spaces. Places within the fabric of the city where residents can easily move their bodies, meet their friends, and immerse themselves in the calming properties of nature. Here’s how that looks in Shanghai.

Loved seeing those closed roads today - many congrats to everyone who took part and raised funds 👏👏 Completing it in 2022 was one of my proudest achievements and I really hope to be able to do it again one day. Do it while you can -you never know what’s around the corner.

Fantastic news for East Birmingham and North Solihull if it can be realised. We could also have a decent network of cycle lanes across the entire region maybe 2/3rds of that figure. 👀
