This is promising. If National Highways were to work to achieve betterment for active travel in every project, it would be transformative, especially in more rural areas.

The WM indoor velodrome is MOVING FORWARD ✅

We’ve reviewed the business case for an INDOOR VELODROME in the West Midlands & it’s GOOD NEWS 🚲

Great to be with James Morris MP & Adam Tranter to tell the campaigners I’m committing to making the facility a reality 👏🏻

Great to see Octopus Energy opening a new hub in Coventry with CEO Greg Jackson stating in interviews that the public transport, walking and cycling provision for staff were specific reasons for the choice of location.

They’ve just won another customer in me! 🙋🏻‍♂️

'Active travel dialogue is nowhere near, in terms of real policy discussion, where it was in the 2019 election run up'

What he said.

Boost walking and cycling in towns and cities, urges UK government adviser

theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

A real plan for drivers would be to give people genuine transport choices like walking, cycling + public transport.

Only then can we reduce car dependency, freeing up road space for those who really need to drive.

It could be like driving during school holidays. All year round.

Very brave of Cllr Hetherton to discuss the death of her 11 year old niece, who was killed in a collision on a zebra crossing.

Coventry is taking a lead on safer streets and more choice for vulnerable road users walking, wheeling and cycling. I’m grateful for her leadership.

Put cycle parking as close as you can to the entrance to make the most sustainable choices the most convenient, and help boost natural surveillence. It’s pretty simple, really.

(New cycle lane serving the supermarket starting construction soon.)

Pleased that more new cycle lanes and a bumper package of pavement maintenance is being progressed in #Coventry .

This is being coupled with new average speed cameras and red light cameras to help make our roads safer for everyone.

.Transport for West Midlands, which is part of @westmids_ca, is investing £6.1bn through to 2032.

This will support Metro, bus, rail, cycling and walking networks to better connect people across Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton.

You can ask transport modellers to predict unsustainable traffic growth and then build sprawling developments and relief roads.

Or you can decide better and more communities could be built by providing decent walking, cycling and public transport links.
