It’s amazing what you discover just pedalling along...
Excited to launch the @activetraveleng Junior Inspectors scheme with @Chris_Boardman & @JoshDeanMP. Kids will be able to audit their school run, giving feedback via an app, creating safer, greener routes - boosting health, cutting congestion & supporting our Plan for Change.🚶♀️🚲

Hey @LivEchonews 2 questions: Why is 'success' in inverted commas? And why is the 23% drop in the number of people killed or seriously injured not the headline? These are incredible results Wirral can be proud of. liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…
Health, children’s freedom, clean air, all these things should be apolitical and that’s what these Mayors have made it. Better lives for their 20 million residents, backed by @Heidi_Labour 👏👏 an honour to convene. @activetraveleng theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Imagine if we made it an easy, everyday choice for everyone. Less people needing the NHS is how you save it for the long term. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

The country is walking and wheeling more Today's National Travel Survey shows trips walked or wheeled up 7% in 2024, compared to 2019🧑🦽🚶♀️ While average distance was up 13% to 230 miles a year 💪 This is progress as we work to make active travel a safe everyday choice for all

Seven-year-old Betty from Manchester wrote a letter to the Prime Minister about more safe spaces for walking, wheeling and cycling 🚶👩🦽🚲 @Chris_Boardman met her to talk about how it will make us all happier, healthier and greener 🌲🌍
"A truly integrated way to make transport work for people.” @simonlightwood and @Chris_Boardman visited Stockport Interchange, a new transport hub bringing together bus, rail, walking and cycling routes - a fantastic example of connected and accessible transport systems 🚌🚄👟🚲
