@wandsworth doesn’t like clean air.
London has a toxic air crisis. If we're not careful, we’ll be moving from one public health crisis to another—only this time it will be caused by toxic emissions and gridlocked roads. Well-planned Low Traffic Neighbourhoods play a crucial role in cleaning up our air. Here’s how:

Campaign idea: Replace QR codes on any Wandsworth parking meters with QR codes leading to active travel websites.
Beware of a new scam using QR codes on Parking Meters. See the attached bulletin for more information

Price control by the state versus price control by @wandbc and @wandsworth - I think you are splitting hairs, councillor.
@humantravl That’s not a price control - it’s an asset held by the Council for which the Council needs to set a price. Price controls involve the state setting a maximum the price of certain goods generated by the market, leading to all sorts of supply issues and distortions.

Bikes can often be brought inside? Clearly this councillor isn’t aware how little storage space there is in Tooting and other areas that @wandsworth neglect.
@humantravl It’s a fair point. I’m not on the Strategic Planning and Transport OSC, which I know you follow closely, but can imagine one argument being that cars are the most obvious mode of private transport requiring street space for parking (vs eg bikes which often can be brought inside)

Cough, cough, cough.
If you want to comment on the council's Air Quality Action Plan, you must do so by January 4. #TogetherOnClimateChange

Incredible statement from an acting councillor.
Councillor @simon_brew who sat on Croydon council's Cycle Forum (shut down due to "no money") warns of dangers from segregated cycle lanes, "that cars, for example, can't veer into the cycle lane to avoid a crash, or a pedestrian in the road"
