Thanks to the Welsh politicians who are supporting the 500,000 children who can't reliably detect speeds above 20mph, the 600,000 with concessionary travel passes, and the 300,000 households with no car. Thanks to Welsh drivers by delivering safer streets and mobility for all.

Given that scientists who study 100% renewable energy systems are unanimous that it can be done, why do we hear daily on twitter and everywhere else by those who don't study such systems that it can't be done?

@NilsPratley I read your article ‘Small nuclear reactors are a big, but sensible, step forward – now get on with it’. How do you deal with the radioactive waste?

Determined Ripon mother writes about cycling her children to Primary School on a busy, narrow, dangerous village road which @northyorksc has refused to make 20mph.
It’s just had a segregated cycle lane - but only for 2 days of roadworks.

The new migration bill passed by the UK Parliament violates the country’s international human rights and refugee law obligations. High Commissioner for Human Rights @volker_turk and I share grave concerns in this respect. Here is our joint statement👇🏻 unhcr.org/news/press-rel…

Corporate courts block climate action - they give fossil fuel companies the power to sue governments for taking action on the climate emergency. It’s time to drop them from our trade deals. #StopISDS #ClimateJustice act.globaljustice.org.uk/node/3659?utm_…

In an LTN how is my freedom of movement curtailed when I’m walking?
It isn’t.
Is my freedom of movement in an LTN curtailed when I’m on my bike, then?
It is not.
So my freedom of movement is only curtailed when I drive?
Not that either. I can still access every property.

By staying in the secretive Energy Charter Treaty, the UK Government is choosing to protect polluters over the planet.
Sign the petition now and demand we leave the treaty before there’s no planet left to protect

What would the comparable figures be for @northyorksc?
20's Plenty for Us@20splentyforus
In England local authorities of all colours have set 20mph limits for most urban/village roads for 20 million people. Wales is doing it the sensible way for its 3.1 million people with a 20mph default. Other countries are setting 20mph/30kmh as an urban/village norm

Just back from London. Default 20mph throughout much of the City. Traffic significantly slower. It works. It’s accepted. It’s become normal. What’s the problem? @20sPlentyNYorks
