American study but relatable to most jurisdictions even the lil 'ol #IsleofMan There's a very real equality problem in transport and urban planning and time and again is overlooked in the 'noise' of trying to change anything to do with driving habits.

2023 study: “Our thesis is that a primary cause of the rise in mental disorders is a decline over decades in opportunities for children and teens to play, roam, and engage in other activities independent of direct oversight and control by adults."

@TheNewsAgents We are now in a brand new world where policies that were never going to happen are being “ cancelled “ or where we are being saved from “ sinister” practices that don’t actually exist. That’s called conspiracy … #CPC2023

Labour politicians & London-based commentators talk about cars like they’re a bad thing - just look at how they’re reacting to our Plan for Drivers. But they just don’t understand that, outside central London, the rest of the UK relies on the car👇 express.co.uk/news/politics/…

U.K. has some of the worst public transport in the western world (outside of London village) & intimidating/hostile roads for anyone outside of a car. Being a 'nation of drivers' is not something to be particularly proud of as a PM of a party in power for 13 years. #LittleBritain
Rishi Sunak@RishiSunak

We are a nation of drivers. Most of us use a car every day and, for many, life would be difficult without their car. But too often, drivers feel under attack. That changes today with a long-term plan to improve drivers' experience on the road. Here’s how 👇🧵

@robbleden Peak times the bypass to Arbory Road R/H turn has fast speed on offside and onside. Drivers pressured to make unwarranted courtesy decisions. Drivers having to make multiple real time decisions. Stats would be interesting.

@christhomasiom Decades of a 1960s mentality when it comes to our road infrastructure has built people into being car dependent & now coming home to roost. Given our transport data and control of public transport we should be easily able to achieve 70% modal share across🚶🏼‍♀️ 🛴 🚲 🚌.

Port Erin Commissioners backtrack on decision to support DOI's overnight vehicle plan manxradio.com/news/isle-of-m… & I hope the Commissioners will use own bye-laws & perhaps parking control to encourage responsible parking whilst developing their paid facilities for motor homes etc.

4 years after Tynwald adopted the new evidence led road safety strategy the silence is deafening on speed limits. Either adopt 'Safe Systems' in full @IOMGovernment or review your own strategy. Doing the same thing and expecting a different result isn't a great look.

@robbleden @richardmacnee Be interested to see entry numbers for various events over last decade. Committees change, key people ‘retire’. Trends/Olympic2012 factor/road safety/value all come into play.

We’re a nation that prides itself on cycling. A key feature of our tourism strategy. Anyone noticed it’s gone ‘off the boil’?

Road and pavement quality is poor across a lot of the island. The decline in the maintenance of basic infrastructure is a shocking indictment of our political and economic system.

@robbleden Public transport, despite lowering road maintenance costs, is seen as a burden rather than as a tool to improve health and economic outcomes.

@christhomasiom @robcallister @RichardRSButt Not sure how long you've been in politics Rob, or involved at DOI, but we've seen an increase of 75% more private cars/vans on the road since 1991 compared to a population increase of 23%. Those are stats you can't afford to keep up with.

@robcallister @RichardRSButt @robcallister There was no statement as such except my budget speech. The facts are objective. Treasury, Tynwald & DoI then made budget decisions against them. There has been reduction in overall DoI & highways capital funding & DoI successfully requested moving some to highways.
