Vincent Stops

In which ⁦@LordChrisHolmes⁩ calls for a review of the recent floating bus stop guidance. And tells government that blind people can no longer catch the bus!

Amazing how @willnorman and @TfL are portraying cycling risk as reducing by 23%. For the last decade its literally been trending upwards. Their Vision Zero plans and a £Billion made no difference!

@S33891367 @ZoeGarbett @hackneygreens This was a few years back, but an example of their naive politics.

@VincentStops @ZoeGarbett @hackneygreens Woodberry down estate was condemned as unfit to live in many many years ago (the council still let people live there) the redevelopment & reallocation of Woodberry Down estate into the new blocks started many years ago long before Covid why are the Green Party raising issues now

Here are @ZoeGarbett’s @hackneygreens protesting one of Europe’s largest redevelopments at Woodberry Down in Hackney, a council estate that could not viably or pragmatically be refurbished in any other way. And at the same time they go on about sorting out damp etc.

All out together in Hackney Central for our residents , community and local businesses. We are Hackney together 🌹 a great canvas session and doorstep conversations

This is important information for voters. The Green Party are consistent opponents of anything which actually helps council tenants and people in housing need

@TheSolarShed @MuradQureshiLDN And in the places one would use it.

Covering 80% of commercial rooftops would generate 50% of UK electricity demand.

@ukwrightphil So you can clearly demonstrate that?

@VincentStops Still reports from all types of roads though Investment in segregated infrastructure improves safety for all road users and is a good thing

He’s telling porkies. London is getting more dangerous for cycling. 2025 had record serious injuries and the risk of serious injuries are rising.

@ukwrightphil Read the second chart.

@VincentStops Segregated cycle infrastructure is safer for all road users. Is it that your charts show KSIs from all road types across London? With the number of people cycling and number of journeys increasing it is likely the absolute number of incidents may rise.

Our Crayford Action Team and @danfrancis02 saw lots of positive support for Labour ahead of the upcoming local elections. Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak with us today🌹

A busy week for our councillors and candidates out speaking to residents across the borough. @HackneyLabour #Labour

The Hackney Labour Manifesto 2026 is live!! 📣 Our plan for homes, safer streets and stronger communities! Full manifesto: hackneylabour.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

Landing on your doorstep this week… Take a look what your @HackneyLabour has been doing for you. #hackneylabour #labour

School boy statistics from @willnorman suggesting a 100% reduction in casualties: One down to zero!

Sometimes you wait ages for a bus then four turn up at once! On parade in the garage, our special No 38 bus 😍 campaign to save our No 38 bus supported @Meg_HillierMP It's my regular bus, no cutting of the service/ shortening of the route/ been running longer than most of us!

.@Willnorman, the London Cycling Commissioner, persists with comparing risk now, against a baseline of 2010 to 14 when injuries spiked. He daren’t publish the chart because it shows that since his appointment cycle safety has worsened per journey!

The latest @TfL safety plan is better than the last, but it is pretty dishonest. They imply cycle tracks are 65% safer. That’s not true. 🧵 The figure is from one piece of research looking at tracks separate from the junctions. 2025 is the worst year for cycle safety ever!

@VincentStops Agreed.

What a joy to hear from Dalston’s Labour councillor telling the truth about Ridley Road Market and the council’s support for the market. This is in sharp contrast to the bandwagon jumper and @hackneygreens Cllr. @ZoeGarbett always running it down and giving false hope to traders.

Great to see the old Routemaster buses driving down route 38 at the weekend as part of the London Bus Museum’s 38 heritage day. Please join my campaign to #SaveRoute38 - see my website for further details.
