@paul_bower @WalkRideGM @ClimateEmergMcr Which is more likely to result in lower energy use as a whole? Is there evidence that the take up of active travel will be more successful than the switch from ICE to EV?

Will Manchester have an extensive EV charging network for cars before it has a comprehensive & safe walking & cycling network? An EV charging network is necessary but NOT if it comes at the expense of Active Travel which is v.likely in Mcr @WalkRideGM @ClimateEmergMcr
Cllr Anthony McCaul@AnthonyMcCaulDG

I’ve been working with @ManCityCouncil to enhance the EV charging strategy to include provision to accommodate urban residents. The paper will be coming to Environment and Neighbourhood scrutiny next week. Happy to see on street charging points included: democracy.manchester.gov.uk/documents/s487…

@bryn_mainwaring @paul_bower @WalkRideGM ....all of that falls away and they are happy to approve the building of the most absurd structures; energy intensive in both build and use, providing no additional affordable housing to the city, making life worse for the people who already live in the area...the list goes on

@bryn_mainwaring @paul_bower @WalkRideGM ...and a road / highway system that puts the needs and safety of pedestrians and cyclists first. However we see over and over again that no matter the 'fine words' about prioritising "sustainable development", when a developer comes knocking wanting to build fancy apartments...

@DameSarahStorey @AndyBurnhamGM @bevcraig @CllrTR (Greater) Manchester needs this level of car-free ambition and not to continually pander to motorists by accommodating/prioritising cars everywhere and at anytime. @WalkRideGM @ClimateEmergMcr #EuropeanCapitalOfCycling2024
Melissa & Chris Bruntlett@modacitylife

When Dutch Grand Prix organizers announced in 2019 the goal of going car-free, they were ridiculed: "That's impossible!” decried critics. But they made the impossible possible in Zandvoort, shifting behaviour with a bold vision, targeted investment, and effective cooperation. 🧵

European Capital of Cycling (Manchester) hasn’t really done anything of note or worth for Active Travel on the A6 yet either. Stockport aren’t alone in their inaction
Walk Ride GM@WalkRideGM

Our members asked @AndyBurnhamGM why he is letting Stockport Council deliver a scheme on the A6 that: Doesn't provide safe cycle lanes ❌ Doesn't provide 24hr bus lanes ❌ This is his response:

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, considerably older than Stonehenge that is vandalised more frequently 👇

Blue green algae season in Windermere is starting to take off. With last year being the biggest sewage spilling year in recent times, I wonder what the summer will bring. If you see this, then I would suggest not entering the water and definitely don’t let your dogs near it. Just the other day, someone stopped me whilst I was recording with @Countrystride1 and he told us that his dog was killed in 2010 from BGA toxicity in Windermere. It should be taken seriously. I’ve already received a few videos in the last week or so, including this one from yesterday morning. If you see algae like this, take pictures and videos and send them over to us on social media or by visiting our website savewindermere.com
