Great energy + perfect weather for the #KidicalMass ride on Saturday.

Most kids have never cycled in the city centre before. How can we make that a normal safe activity for everyone?

It was a great city project ready to go - cancelled out of petty political spite through the Mayor’s unhealthy close relationship with Malaysian owned YTL who are yet to deliver on it’s unsustainable edge of town site.. another example of Labour giving priority to developers’

“Our biggest discovery was the myriad benefits that come with far fewer automobiles.

Even with high expectations, Delft was nothing short of a revelation; each day discovering the joys of being in a city that treated cars as guests rather than guests of honor.” - Curbing Traffic

Bristol Labour Group proposed to treble the cost of residents’ parking permits, based on the idea that residents parking schemes “may have the effect of encouraging more short, local trips by car”. Not a single shred of evidence has been presented to justify it.

I love how Marvin’s YTL-funded jolly to Malaysia, is now euphemistically described as ‘re-evaluating’.
£34m paid for under the SWRDA plan. £12m lost under Rees, and now £32m paid for cleaning the site. Plus a £200m shopping list from YTL for their project.

Absolutely brilliant turnout for Bristol’s #KidicalMass today. And the sun shone! Thank you to everyone who showed up for children - especially the children themselves! #SafeStreetsNow

Once again politicians, who were doing the right thing, lose their nerve and cave in to car driver pressure at the expense of our children who don’t have votes! #20mph #Wales : Some roads to revert to 30mph after backlash ⁦20mph Democracy in Wales⁩ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…

From 2008 to 2012 #Bristol fought tooth & nail to secure EU Green Capital, Labour being Labour wanted it cancelled for the 2012 bid as minutes will show. It was awarded for what Bristol can become and in 2015 it was started. It was an overwhelming success. bristolgreenparty.org.uk/green-capital-…

Because Bristol City Council under Labour are promoting unsustainable high block development none of you would want to live in - short sighted ‘planning by numbers’ rather than designing for civilised living.

If we want the public to fall back in love with the future this is perfectly how not to do it. “You an ant” this says, “you are not in control. You don’t matter.”

The 1st picture is the latest victim of road violence, Mayar Bahia RIP

The 2nd picture is of the scene.

The 3rd tells you what you can do.

The 4th doesn’t exist yet, but statistically, another person will die due to road violence in B’ham next week.

Surely members of Development Control A committee know they're being played by the outgoing Mayor's office?
