On the #nursesstrike . I’ve spent most of the last 3 months in hospital with my 10 month old baby. Yes the doctors and surgeons have been exceptional, but my god the nurses…

There’s a Dad out walking with his kid on a scooter in front of me. It should be an enjoyable thing. Instead he’s having to give stern warning the whole way, ‘watch for cars’, ‘not to close to the edge’, ‘quickly across the road, quickly’. Why did we let this become the norm?

Dear Councils, if you are providing bike training for kids but not infrastructure so they can cycle to their school or the shops safely, we are failing. It’s like teaching a kid to read and then not giving them access to any books. It doesn’t make sense.

@WEP_UK @SadiqKhan As a parent I don’t think safe places to cycle overlooks my needs - it means I can cycle to work safely. So that someone who isn’t able to cycle has the space they need on public transport. It means those who haven’t been brave enough to cycle could be in future

It’s #CleanAirDay ! I’m off to visit the brilliant staff of @RoyalLondonHosp who are leading the way in speaking to patients about the impact of air pollution to health. Looking forward to my cycle in!

I listen to health professionals on a daily basis describing the devastating impact air pollution is having on their patients health. We need our decision makers to be bold in implementing policies that will clean up our air. Well done to @SadiqKhan for showing that leadership

Residents in St Ann’s Ward, Haringey came together today to create a new vision for our streets. We don’t have money (yet), but we do have a group who are determined to create greener, safer, fairer streets in our community. Thanks to @mikehakata @DavidLammy for joining the ride!

From walking toddlers to school along routes with multiple recent crashes, dangers trying to cycle to work, to simply crossing the road. Some of the filtered streets in our area are the safer routes we have. They are not ‘deserted’ streets they are full of our neighbours

Haringey committed a budget of £3m for school streets in Dec 2019. In May the Government called for swift action from councils to provide school streets. Where are they? Why have they not implemented at speed across the borough? @HaringeyLiving @HaringeyCyclist @haringeycouncil

A message to all councillors - we’re asking for your urgent support on healthy streets. This is a matter of duty of care: - to prevent more Covid-19 outbreaks from people cramming onto public transport because we gave them no safe alternatives (1)
