This week we will announce our new Road Safety Strategy - a plan focused on saving lives, protecting communities and making every journey safer. Improving safety on our roads is essential, and I’m determined we get this right. inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

A quarter of our car journeys are under 2 miles. When more people cycle, everybody wins. Our new #BikeIsBest ad is now live.

Leicester has seen some major changes over the past 12 months - with projects like the long-awaited opening of the city's £16.8m new Roman museum. More changes are in the pipeline as councils and developers seek to press ahead with significant schemes. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Good to see the roll-out of 20mph limits as a default in Glasgow.

Are guided busways a better alternative to trams in big cities? No. The data is clear that the UK's best example of one still takes about twice as long at peak times as off peak times because it's stuck in traffic when it's not on the segregated section.

@LilianGreenwood Great to see. Leicester/its surrounding suburbs need the Nottingham treatment. P&R here stops at 7pm with no Sunday service. Buses unreliable. Late night train back from Birmingham for major gigs non existent. Tram should be reinstalled. Leicestershire is dire for rail generally.

@LeicsCountyHall Does your ‘transport’ strategy increase the number of vehicles on the road in Leicestershire or does it reduce them? If it doesn’t reduce them, then road projects are white elephants. We haven’t yet seen your traffic reduction strategy.

@lewis_goodall Here’s a topic for you. Why are we all so car brained to the point where to suggest sometimes not using a car to travel even into the best city in the country for transport is beyond comprehension. x.com/tonyblackburn/…

As from January 2nd Electric vehicles will have to pay the London congestion charge, and we thought it was all bout making the air cleaner. Now we find out it’s all about getting more money from the motorist. What a surprise !!!

Michaël Delafosse is Montpellier’s mayor - he’s from the Parti Socialiste and has strong approval ratings. He governs a medium sized city with a burgeoning population and successful economy. Imagine! Britain COULD do things like this. It chooses not to.

When the Manchester Guardian calls, the people of the North heed the call. And if those people are me, we inject Manchester Liberalism, even from across the Pennines, right back in to the paper of Northern record. Get your fill. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@RichParkerLab Thank you. Also remember local! Make it safe to walk and cycle to LOCAL schools, shops and station. It’s the only solution to get the safe quiet healthy streets every community wants. This is the strategic change the country needs to address our traffic and public health crises.

Cutting congestion and making it easier to get to work, college and see loved ones. That’s why I pushed for new railway stations like Willenhall. Construction is complete, and soon you’ll be able to jump on board.

Cycling and walking could help deliver almost everything Brits say they want to achieve in 2026 — if we design streets to support them. Getting fitter, losing weight, being healthier, saving money; enabling active travel quietly does all of it. With no gym contracts.
