One of these vehicles is designed specifically for cities, professionally driven and available to the public. The other... just as big (or bigger!) and yet wholly exclusive with little practical use in urban areas. Surely #carspreading is a red flag to city planners?
It’s astonishing Wimbledon insists on deploying large SUVs in our crowded capital despite excellent public transport and mounting evidence of the danger to children. Why cant guests use more normal sized cars and/or tube like most Londoners? #carspreading thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/art…
Fact for the day on #cleanairday Latest data shows level of harmful NOx emissions from vans in UK is GREATER than 10 yrs ago. Why? Record number of vans consuming more diesel than ever before 🚚💨😷 We must prioritise electric & pedal powered freight for #cleanair in cities
Great news!
The results are in. The vast majority of Londoners and major businesses back our exciting plans for Oxford Street, so I'm pleased to confirm that we will now be moving ahead as quickly as possible.
Anyone know what the traffic is like at Rotherhithe tunnel? Not heard great things and there hasn't been much coverage. This should all be looked at holistically inc. Hammersmith bridge etc as part of a balanced river crossings strategy that aligns with London's long term goals
Following the introduction of tolls at Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels, the Woolwich Ferry has seen 1,800+ more vehicles daily - many of them lorries ⛴️➡️ bbc.in/4e7Qh5t
