@jackielibdem @hantsconnect I'm not sure about closed roads not being good news. It often means that essential work is being done, or that vulnerable users are getting some safe space to use. Both of those are good news.

Roads closed are not usually good news but hopefully extensive work at the #LadycroftRoundabout will solve the flooding problem for good. A deep drainage trench is being cut along the A31 Thanks to @hantsconnect for finally doing this work:cowslips thriving too.

OK, competition time: Where might the UK have spent this £6bn better than subsidising car journeys?

In 2022–23, fuel duty rates were frozen in cash terms for the twelfth consecutive year and then cut by a further 5p, leaving it 37% lower than the 2010 rate in real terms. Maintaining these policies for 2023–24 would cost £6 billion.

Imagine £0.5million being spent on cycle storage in Winchester...or bus stops...or alternatives to driving.

I think it might show how far I am disconnected from the sport end of road cycling, that I read this and assumed they were talking about *shoes* 🤷🤦♂️

@SouthamptonIs "We were all at it, so it was a level playing field" Rather than "So many of us were at it that we undermined confidence in the whole sport"?

Half of drivers say they have "no alternative" but to drive, and are forced to spend 10-20% of income on their car. This isn't freedom, it's dependency.

Remember I talked about improvements to Portswood in Southampton? There's a petition by people who support it. A good time to let the council know there's support for improving air quality: bit.ly/3gDhljS

@London_Cycling @SustransLondon That's fair. It's a good news story, I just wish it were better.
English
@Back_pedalling @SustransLondon We want to make sure everyone can use what's there already. But we're definitely also campaigning for more at the same time!
