South Wales Police: You cannot ride that 10kg bicycle on a pavement Also South Wales Police: There is nothing wrong with driving a 3 ton 4x4 on a pavement directly outside a primary school Make it make sense !!

#EveryLittleHelps ‘obstruct a pavement’ You might expect #Tesco to be a little more responsible after one of their van drivers hit & killed a pedestrian in North Wales. But ‘nah’ 🙄

Oh, I am sure. It is very usual to hear from drivers who have hit someone that “they came out of nowhere”. #SorryMateIDidntSeeYou #SMIDSY Or to put it another way … www.chrisboardman.com/content/if_y...

@simonpegg.bsky.social That gravy looks a bit thick in the 4th pic 😉

I love the way expensive new roads are celebrated, even if in business case terms, they only shave a few seconds of journeys. But when it is a modest scheme to help to get buses moving, that same argument is deployed against. Sorry Bub, it's not your road outside. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Poor Matt Goodwin. All he ever wanted was to be a hard working MP/academic/tv presenter/commentator/writer/pollster/wealth adviser/women’s health guru and you all ripped that away from him. A shame

You must try out the Allister Heath headline generator. It is fab. Unless you are trying to avoid procrastination this afternoon, in which case look away now.

The Green Party isn't manipulating anyone. We are just coming up with good policies. Other parties should try it.

This is another reason measures to reduce traffic are so urgently needed. Everything helps - pedestrian crossings, bike lanes, 20mph limits, clean air zones, congestion zones, investment in new public transport options, parking control, liveable neighbourhoods and car clubs. Let’s do it all.

Not only will Reform have a declared policy which will result in killing people but they will also be adding an average £50/year to every motor insurance policy in Wales. Quite a challenge to sell this one once you get into the detail ✍️Gwern Gwynfil wp.me/p8Mk4U-1epY

The awarding of contracts to large US corporations by successive Westminster Governments, without a competitive bidding process is such a fucking RED FLAG 🚩 On a completely unrelated topic: I wonder why the UK is sliding in global corruption tables 🤔

Last night there was a vigil for the first cycling fatality of the year on London's streets. I was there. Here are some thoughts (no paywall). If this strikes a chord with you, please comment on the post and share. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

A reminder that in 2023 Tory MP Iain Duncan Smith supported Ulez camera destroyers.

Parents at our local Primary School have no problem whatsoever mounting pavements in cars, parking on pedestrian crossing zigzags and generally endangering OTHER PEOPLE’S CHILDREN as long as it saves them 5 seconds of walking. “Engine on, brain off”

Why are Governments and especially Ministers within them so shite stuff like this and just so bloody gullible. Oh, I know why…

Peers in the HoL must not block progress on the Assisted Dying Bill by dragging proceedings out unreasonably. Peers have a duty to engage in legitimate scrutiny, not filibuster until a Bill falls. It's elected MPs in the Commons who represent the people, not a handful of unelected Lords.

South Australia, this is getting crazy. www.bom.gov.au/sa/observati...

This is true. It only leaked part of it to the Guardian I suspect it was in retaliation for Trumps criticism of UK’s green policies day before. We need the full report. We need a Govt led publicity campaign so people understand WHY we really, really need to get to #NetZero

The best cycle lanes are wide, beautiful and completely separate from other roads. This type of infrastructure is common here in the Netherlands. They often connect cities and offer a great alternative for driving.

Parents parking both sides of the road outside the local Primary School. (Double yellows) Ambulance and Police Car both on emergency response (blue lights and sirens) because by delayed. Drivers are just so considerate. 🙄 Convenience > Consideration of others every time.

Not that long ago Wales (particularly South Wales) was considered a Labour stronghold … the times they are a changing. If you’re not already, please do follow @anthonyslaughter.bsky.social & @walesgreenparty.bsky.social

1/ Some wild numbers have been used in the media this week for “the cost of net zero”. Reports have said that net zero will “cost” £4.5 trillion, £7.6 trillion – the list goes on. None of these are the cost of net zero – a quick explainer 🧵 on why

Bloody cyclists, demolishing a wall and blocking a safe pedestrian route. Oh, no, my mistake it was a car. Swansea Council’s answer ? Shut the pavement (school just 200m further along) and do nothing - no safe crossing, no alternative - just nothing…

Here is our Press Release on the @transportgovuk.bsky.social Road Safety Strategy and a brief summary of why we think it is so weak and disappointing! rdrf.org.uk/2026/01/09/o...

Loved meeting today with @nsomersetgreen.bsky.social who showed up big time for Dave Skinner their candidate for the Clevedon byelection! Plenty of residents talking about @zackpolanski.bsky.social proving his airgame cuts through even on VERY cold air days! Seems hope is warming...

The government is going to let councils outside London ban pavement parking by motorists. www.gov.uk/government/s... It's been banned in London since 1974, and promoted in this memorable GLC advert.

Just one more unambitious and blinkered response from a government that just doesn’t get it. If you want safer streets and better public services: #VoteGreen www.gov.uk/government/c...

The Road Safety Strategy is an opportunity to address the dangers pedestrians face every day, but the vision should be for zero people to lose their lives. We should not accept that a certain number of people will die on our roads. livingstreets.org.uk/RSScomment

Walked the school run this morning (as I always do). Roads clear, cars speeding. Pavements icy, dusting of snow on top - TREACHEROUS !! How Swansea Council encourages ‘active’ travel 🙄🙄

Research study finds "Close passes were the most common near miss type, followed by near left/right hooks and pulling out incidents. Most near misses occurred during peak hours and on roads without cycling infrastructure." sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

So, Ken Skates and the Welsh Labour Government still prevaricating over a ban on pavement parking. An app to upload photos of offenders and a fine in the post would solve it in 5 minutes.

Labour haven't learned any lessons from the past and are looking to involve private finance in the building of new 'neighbourhood health centres'. And Reform can't wait to sell off our precious NHS. Only the Green Party stands for a health service run for people, not profit.

Youngest member of the household has been back in school a week and a half. All other members of the household have sore throats, coughs and a temperature. HEPA filters anyone ? 🙄

Wow. This guy really needs a reality check. End of Ukraine war 'closer than ever' thanks to Trump, says Starmer

Dwr Cymru / Welsh Water parking of similar standard to their river and seawater pollution - SHITTY !!

Driver stopped by police after colliding with a bollard could only see TWO METRES. But wear hiviz when cycling folks. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

South Wales Police Zero interest in prosecuting dangerous driving in proximity to pedestrians, horse riders or cyclists. Also SWP, mounting an operation to fine cyclists on Queen St in Cardiff. SWP: choosing laws to enforce and who’s worthy of their effort.
