Beautiful #cycle ride thru woods yesterday in #NL, all sealed paths, accessible for all unlike the #UK where ‘environmentalists’ object to such surfaces. And not one barrier @appgcw.bsky.social need to take Parkiamentarians to rural NL not just cities. @lauralaker.bsky.social

There's so much unused public land around Wandsworth. Imagine if we could use it to grow free, healthy food for our communities, instead of paying for it to do nothing! 🍅🥬 I've backed the call for a Right to Grow in Wandsworth. Add your name if you agree: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/su...

🗳️ Now that the dust has almost started to settle on last weeks dramatic local elections, we gave our campaigns team the unenviable job of making sense of it all for cycling... Check out the full blog on our website:

🗳️1/3🧵For the first time since 1964, Wandsworth Council has no overall control. Conservatives 29 seats, Labour 28, with independent Malcolm Grimston now holding the balance of power. Despite losing control, Labour still won the largest borough-wide vote share. Analysis 👇 www.cjag.org/2026/05/12/w...

The Supreme Court has granted Tower Hamlets Council permission to appeal the ruling that removing Bethnal Green's LTNs was unlawful. We are disappointed, but undeterred. We won at the Court of Appeal and we'll fight this too, but we need your support. www.crowdjustice.com/case/defendi...

Just been appointed chair of Transport Committee! I’ve been a transport campaigner since the early 1990s and have spent ten years on the Assembly scrutinising the Mayor’s transport policies. This role feels like a natural continuation of work I care so much about and I’m excited to get started 💚

Most the chat has been on the impact of last Thursday's results on national govt, but they do also (obviously!) really matter locally - this is a great explainer on how the results are likely to impact cycle/active travel policy across London - youtu.be/zzrFrsiR3Fg?...

This is the best cycling advert ever, especially because I’m in it. It beautifully shows that cycling is for everyone, no matter who you are or where you come from. Bikes bring people together and remind us that cycling is one of the best ways to improve our health and wellbeing.

He could have had a veto over every Wandsworth Council decision. He understood it in full. Chose not to take it. Why: https://putney.news/2026/05/09/the-man-wandsworth-cant-ignore-any-more/ #Wandsworth #UKNews #London

Zack Polanski, "The Labour party are not a left wing party" "Keir Starmer echoed the words of Enoch Powell" "We've seen in Shabana Mahmood anti-migrant rhetoric" "I think a left wing government would look at how much communities are suffering right now and would work to end rip off Britain"

Unless we change the voting system, we will see this at the next general election as well. With votes split across five or more parties, power can be won on as little as 25% of the vote. This needs to be a wake-up call.

This man used to lead Kingston Council ahahahahhahaha

On a personal note, very pleased to see @zoegarbett.bsky.social elected mayor of Hackney. In a tiny way, that's payback for me giving a professional view on the horrorshow that is Pembury Circus and where the Labour group were quite dismissive of what I said.

My local council gives a good example of how multimember plurality can mean that the largest party by votes is not the largest party by seats.

Here's my piece about Grimston, now holding balance of power in Wandsworth, from 2022: www.onlondon.co.uk/borough-elec...

No one expected Keir Starmer to solve our pressing problems overnight. But what we did expect – and had every right to expect – was that he would lay out a clear vision and roadmap for doing so. Instead, we’ve had drift, appeasement and a startling absence of ideas, values and ambition. 🧵1/6

Wandsworth now NOC; 29 Tories, 28 Labour and 1 independent who I guess holds the balance of power. At least on sustainable mobility, Labour squandered it's mandate. #London

I fear Labour people risk falling into an ecological fallacy visible from space when reacting to these results. Here is what is very clear in results so far: Labour are losing *seats* to Reform, but... Labour are losing *votes* to the Greens Greens split the vote, Ref comes thru middle

Westminster back with the Tories. That's sustainable transport screwed again. #London

Exactly 10 years ago today on May 6 2016, the East–West and North–South Cycle Superhighways opened, creating a safe route across the heart of the city

The Greens' Wandsworth manifesto held up better than the Conservatives' or Labour's. 24 claims tested. 11 accurate. One misleading. None false. The strongest financial claim in any of the three manifestos is on page 13: #Wandsworth #Election2026 #UKpolitics

#Croydon's #Conservative Mayor Jason Perry has tweeted out a video celebrating this decision to remove wand-protected cycle lanes in the borough, ahead of his candidacy to be re-elected on 7 May. If you or your loved ones are KSI'd on a bicycle in Croydon, remember who is in part liable.

Connecting the Thames Path in Putney is a great idea that could transform the riverside As a cyclist, having to navigate through Putney is one of the most difficult part of enjoying the Thames Path with my family

Another one. Reform’s candidate for Tooting Broadway in the Wandsworth Council local elections on May 7 Stephanie Dearden has a history of vile social media posts. Almost like there’s a pattern.

Priorities for repairing tired bridges must be based on accurate data and the cost of repairs in relation to public benefit. Decisions should be made to best improve mobility across our whole city. And that may mean simply keeping Hammersmith Bridge open for walking and cycling. 🤸🏽 🚶🏽‍♀️ 👩🏼‍🦯 🧑🏽‍🦽 🏃 🚲
