๐Ÿ‘‡was on our walk from the polling station. Itโ€™s legal for the van to park like this. Itโ€™s pretty much within the lines, but it doesnโ€™t leave much space for people.

On streets like ๐Ÿ‘‡, I feel it would be much better to have parking just on one side, leaving more space for ppl.

This type of travel is made possible because of safer streets & better cycling infrastructure.

Remember to vote tomorrow to let everyone know that !

Iโ€™ve never understood the theory about emergency vehicles not being able to enter LTNs.

Today, as I was walking though the Bruce Grove LTN 2 police cars came up the road, 2 cyclists went onto the pavement, the cars went through the LTN bollards & the cyclists went on their way.

โš ๏ธDangerous Junction Alertโš ๏ธ

To make active travel a viable alternative to the private vehicle, one needs to be able to get from A-B safely.

The majority of journeys are great, itโ€™s just unsafe junction & roads like this by Green Lanes๐Ÿ‘‡which I believe put people off.

Green Lanes could be a really useful cycling route. Itโ€™s fairly flat & direct โ€“ but most people say itโ€™s not safe enough in Haringey.

The below ๐Ÿ‘‡ from Haringey Cycling explains why it currently doesnโ€™t bit the bill!

Parklets outside of school gates is a fantastic idea. Children and parents normally cluster outside the gates and it stops ignorant parents who ignore parking restrictions and park right outside the school.

'every family'

50% of households in London have no access to a car. More cycle lanes and low traffic neighbourhoods are what families needs.

Iโ€™m reading the Mayor of London manifestos & can say with ๐Ÿ’ฏ% certainty I wonโ€™t be voting for Howard Cox ๐Ÿ˜‚

He does say heโ€™ll โ€œalways listenโ€, so if he is listening, I think the below plans are ridiculous!โ€ฆ almost as ridiculous as Nick Scanlonโ€™s plans ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ
