We were delighted to relaunch the Healthy Air Coalition in Parliament yesterday, surrounded by campaign supporters, MPs and #AirPollution experts.
Everyone has the right to breathe safe, clean air and it felt powerful to gather together around this central mission. ๐ช

4 years this August since our in-person interviews on #Hammersmithbridge which showed just 2% more people in favour of reopening to all modes vs #publictransport , #cycles and #pedestrians . Note the preference of those under 29. How would this differ today? farecity.org/2019/10/01/hamโฆ
Hi Charlotte I'm disabled and use my e-cargo trike as my mobility aid.
There's lots of us disabled cyclists around. Have a look at Wheels for Wellbeing for more information.
๐Very disappointing news from #Paris .
A large majority have voted in favour of banning shared #escooters in Sunday's referendum ๐ด
We believe every option should remain on the table as we look for solutions to the #climate and #AirPollution crises.
