Global oil markets are facing a historic supply disruption amid the war in the Middle East, pushing up prices for consumers. Our new report sets out 10 immediate demand-side options to help governments, businesses & households ease the economic impacts → iea.li/4rBh7rD

Tomorrow at 2.30pm we're examining the current state of air pollution in England and its impact on human health and the environment, as part of our new inquiry chosen from a series of pitches in 'The Environment in Focus' exercise, see below. Read more: committees.parliament.uk/event/26653/fo…

The city centre car park has had its day. There is now a significant opportunity to put the land previously used for car parking to much more productive use. Land that could be used for tens of thousands of homes in city centres. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

"London, San Francisco & Beijing achieve ‘remarkable reductions’ in air pollution "Analysis found cycle lanes...EVs and restrictions on polluting vehicles had helped to drive the improvements" EVs, cycle lanes, ULEZ zones - they do actually work theguardian.com/environment/20…

@KiMcGuinness @arrivanortheast @gonortheast Thank you. It’s what we need to cut air pollution on Gosforth High Street.

46 new EV buses to hit the roads of the North East.🚌🔋 14 brand‑new electric buses on @arrivanortheast services 43, 44 and 45 in the coming weeks, plus another 14 to serve the 48, 64, X46 in County Durham to follow. And....£3.6m secured to bring 18 EV buses to @gonortheast routes in Wallsend, North Shields & Whitley Bay for the first time. I want every bus in the region to be zero emission within 10 years, and today marks another step towards that mission. ✅

"Without action to address oversized and heavier vehicles, more people will be seriously injured or killed."

The government could achieve 4-5 times the benefits, £billions of pounds worth, by investing this money in active travel instead.

Good news for air quality on Gosforth High Street. “buses operating on Arriva routes 43, 44 and 45 will be replaced by zero-emission electric ones in the coming weeks.”

TVCA to close all walking and cycling hubs by end of month Middlesborough the closure will be permanent. But don't worry, TVCA say "We remain fully committed to improving active travel options across the region" Oh, and details of the active travel network is password protected

North East buses would be cheaper and better used under public control plan chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…

@MaCgroupUK If you think cycling infrastructure is expensive you’re going to hate what the majority of the UK’s transport budget is spent on.

“Drivers concerned about falling into river despite dedicated half a bridge being available “.

@ChiOnwurah It’s a shame the government isn’t doing more to address women’s completely legitimate fear of cycling in UK cities.

Happy International Day to every woman in Newcastle Central and West and everyone celebrating the wonderful contribution of women around the world. We have come a long way but there is still work to do to build a more equal future and to empower women everywhere.

To all those people complaining that fuel is expensive but so is an EV. A solution exists and it even makes you live longer.

.@Heidi_Labour @LilianGreenwood here’s some good advice the last government largely ignored for what to do when oil prices spike.

Paris school streets are raising the global bar for children’s wellbeing via @FT “Studies in the UK show pedestrianised streets result in 25 per cent reduction in noise pollution, 6 per cent increase in active commuting to schools and fewer accidents.” as.ft.com/r/3b353886-794…

Any progress on this @Heidi_Labour @LilianGreenwood?

The growing threat of domestic wood burning stoves has led public health officials to warn about rising emissions from urban wood burning. A BMJ investigation reveals that nearly a third of councils in high use areas have faced pressure from the stove industry to tone down or withdraw campaigns. Commenting on The BMJ’s findings, Jonathan Blades, head of policy, told The BMJ: “These tactics by the stove industry clearly try to undermine public awareness of those risks, and that means people aren’t able to make informed decisions for their health. That’s a real concern that the councils need to address.” Find out more here: orlo.uk/UU1bj
