Compare and contrast the Government language. £3,750 EV grant on a £35k car: ‘helping families’. Cycle to Work: ‘subsidising leisure’. And yet cycling delivers TEN TIMES the impact of electric cars for reaching net zero. It’s almost like narrative, not data, is driving policy.

Even with my heating on - its cold. My days. My heart goes out to anyone who shamefully, is forced to sleep rough in 2025. Where I live in Putney, you see people sleeping in empty shop doorways everyday. And its not a rarity, it common. No way should anyone be sleeping outside in these conditions.

This render alone was enough to win me over.

Ex-leader of Reform UK in Wales sentenced to 10.5 years in prison for taking bribes for pro-Russia interviews and speeches. Who else was involved,? Party can now add treason to racism, misogyny, islamaphobia, economic illiteracy as its electoral credentials.

I really cannot recommend this excellent piece on Hammersmith Bridge highly enough

🛍️ Great to see this latest consultation on Oxford Steet... Plus, good that they recognise the need to "provide high-quality alternative routes through the area" for cycling, now we just need to see what that actually looks like 👀 More info: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🏆 congratulations to the borough of Wandsworth, for taking first prize once again in the 'most dangerous junction' ranking! The cluster on Upper Tooting Road keeps the top spot for another year, begging the question, will action ever be taken to fix it? 👀 Check out the full map: bit.ly/48oBNNd

London Cycling Campaign’s annual league table highlights junctions that pose greatest risk to pedestrians and cyclists

And we're back! Wandsworth Greens will be back on the streets of Tooting this Saturday taking the fight to Labour, and we'd love to see you there.

I met residents at this junction just last month to see how bad it is for walking and cycling: bsky.app/profile/caro.... They told me that TfL and Wandsworth Council have done nothing for three years to make it safer. ❓ will this junction still be the most dangerous in London in 12 months time.

📢 The most dangerous London junction for people cycling has been announced by @london_cycling. 🚲 For the third year in a row, it’s where Ansell Road, Lessingham Avenue and Derinton Road meet the CS7 on Upper Tooting Road. 🚲 Read more here lcc.org.uk/campaigns/da... 🧵

The CS7 cycle superhighway, which runs through #Tooting, #Balham and #Clapham, has been named as the most dangerous place in London for cyclists for the third successive year, reports The Standard: www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

🗞️ The latest on our Dangers Junctions campaign, from ITV London, including a response to our findings from the offices of @mayoroflondon.bsky.social and TfL... Full story: www.itv.com/news/london/...

NEW: INACTION CONTINUES ON DANGEROUS JUNCTIONS 📊The latest data published today, shows a picture of inaction from @mayoroflondon.bsky.social, TfL and local councils, when it comes to making junctions safe for cycling... 🧑‍💻 Email the mayor and demand action: bit.ly/47QcmUF

Can anyone think of another regime where this was a thing?

Thank you for nothing, I guess 🤷‍♂️ Not even a “do not overtake cyclists” sign for closing the “Superhighway”? I guess we have to be thankful it’s not just a dismount sign 📍Aldgate, CS2

For men and women, boys and girls - join us on Tuesday 25th November. #whiteribbon #Roehampton #Wandsworth

It would be nice if we could have cycle lanes that didn’t come at the expense of, e.g., trees and kids playgrounds. Greenwich Council seems to be doing this a lot recently; pits cyclists against everyone else. Why not take space away from motor vehicles?

When politicians are fabricating & spreading misinformation to build their case (as the MP for Putney has done), they are no better than Cambridge Analytica 2016. Good to see accurate data being presented by WBC @putneylabour.bsky.social @carolinerussell.bsky.social

Worth remembering that freezing fuel duty, which could well happen again, costs about 30x more than the cycle to work scheme per year.

Tonight in Wandsworth 👇

Thank you to everyone who came out for our first action day of the year this Saturday! We had a great time getting to know each other and the people of Tooting Broadway, who are tired of Labour taking them for granted and are ready for bold, independent Greens.

Trump’s reaction to a poorly-edited clip from a year-old BBC doc is an attempt to make the Epstein Files old news and launder his role in the January 6th attempt to overthrow the U.S Government. The more people who watch his speech, the better. youtu.be/8vXEWBenMJY?...

Please support this important petition to (re)connect our neighbourhood. This important active travel link was promised long ago as part of real estate development in Earlsfield, but as far too often the commitments to existing residents do not materialise www.change.org/p/fix-the-mi...

RIP some of the few wands TfL did reinstall on Clapham High Street. Whilst locking my bike up, I saw: 1. Motorcyclist riding the entire length of the cycle lane 2. A car driver cut into the lane here to go around another driver waiting to turn right 3. A bus straddle the lane

Wild story on how London was very nearly destroyed by motorways in the 1960s. Of particular interest to me: my local park was apparently nearly a motorway to Gatwick (a place I can now get to in less than an hour by train without having my local green space replaced by cars and concrete)

Kick Reform UK out of Wandsworth. Protest this Thursday, 13.11., 5:30pm-7pm at John Archer Way. More details: www.instagram.com/p/DQ2JX-mDA5h/

Sadly Fleur is continuing to deliberately mislead Putney residents by claiming that the closure of Hammersmith Bridge to cars is increasing traffic in Putney. The reality is that traffic is down on all surrounding bridges since the closure of Hammersmith Bridge. Trust in politics 🧐

There are so many options to cycle with the whole family: cargo bikes, normal bikes with a child seat or children cycling on their own. All seen here parked in Wandsworth by the Southside Shopping Centre We’re lucky that in London having kids does not mean that you need to get a car 🚲💚

Wandsworth Council has shortlisted three options to improve Clapham Junction station, one of the UK’s busiest

C'mon Green party members and supporters, give a follow to the newest Green party bsky site - in Wandsworth, South WestLondon. @greenwandsworth.bsky.social

Yet another regressive tax policy from Labour - any per mile charging needs to factor in vehicle weight, otherwise some driving a Dacia Spring (costing £14k) would be paying the same as some driving a Audi SQ6 (costing £100k), despite an Audi causing a lot more wear & tear and increasing road danger

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Essential viewing. Wonderful film that shows just how transformative LTNs and school streets can be. We need more of them everywhere!

No cycle lane is safe from an HGV driver who’s looking for a place to park. Bonus points for blocking the dropped kerb

Thanks to a protected intersection the driver of this truck could turn without posing a threat to cyclists 📍CS7 in Stockwell The same situation would be extremely dangerous at many other junctions, even further down the same road, eg in Clapham and Tooting @willnorman.co.uk

Refuk’s Tice: “That Times headline’s a lie!” Stig Abell: “It quotes your leaflets saying you’ll cut taxes.” Tice: “We never said that.” Refuk: a mob of tax-dodging frauds pretending to back the people while drowning in their own bullshit. #ukpolitics

Finally tested the Silvertown Cycle Shuttle before it inevitably gets cancelled 🧭 Wayfinding: I had trouble finding my route to and from the bus stop 🕣 Waiting 5-10min for the bus makes the route unattractive and I’d use the foot tunnel next time 🚲 Consequentially, I was the only cyclist on the bus

I don’t think I will send this one to operation snap 🤔

c.org/MVFV9Cmgjk Greenwich foot tunnel is a disgrace; add your voice for change 👇🏼

There are numerous instances of vehicles crashing into bus stops and/or passengers listed in this post tufnellparkcycles.wordpress.com/2024/03/01/f...

Just a few days after a car crashed into a bus stop in Battersea, a van crashed into a bus stop in Tooting Bec. This is a sad reminder of the source of road danger that puts everyone at risk once they leave their house www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Excellent FAQs section, bravo @wbrassociation.bsky.social 👏 #HealthyStreets

Yet another horrific crash. Yet another self driving vehicle with no mention of any responsibility being the driver 😤 BBC - you must do better! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Disappointing update, but I hope @hfcouncil.bsky.social can resume the works again soon, creating a healthier Wandsworth Bridge Road @willnorman.co.uk

Dog whistle reporting. This, (UK front pages) wouldn't have made it onto the wires if it hadn't been an asylum seeker. Report from prison service said 262 prisoners released in error between April '24 and March '25. How many of them made headlines? Answer: none. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Great to see this fantastic junction design in more areas of London! Previously only seen in Waltham Forest, now Camden and Newham are planning them. What borough will be next? How about TfL? Camden is consulting on their design, respond today! consultations.wearecamden.org/supporting-c...

Potential knock-on effect on people walking from this kind of magical thinking.... 😞 "There will be flexibility in residential cycle storage requirements to reflect demand and account for the rise of dockless bikes and e-scooters in London"
