I worked with my son Josh to produce this 34-minute video on the Celebrating 10 Years of Enjoy Waltham Forest event in Walthamstow yesterday. Great to see the walking/cycling transformation of the borough. youtube.com/watch?v=Wtmpx5…

Whether in London or across the globe, it’s the most vulnerable – who’ve contributed the least to the climate catastrophe – who are forced to shoulder the heaviest consequences.

The need to act is great, the time is now – and cities are leading the way. thetablet.co.uk/blogs/1/2784/m…

After a little bit of a twitter (x?) hiatus, back again. With the morning commute in London, in the rain

It was a true honour to experience a private audience with His Holiness Pope Francis at the Vatican today.

Cooperation between different faiths can be a catalyst for unity as well as a driving force behind action to protect the planet.

Fantastic to see the new protected cycle lanes, sustainable drainage and planting as part of Newham London 💙’s transformation of this former duel carriageway in the Olympic Park. 🚲🚶‍♀️♿️💚⛈☘️🌳🌹

I have no problems with a law on death by dangerous cycling – everyone must obey the rules of the road.

But in 2022, 1760+ people were killed on UK roads – 3 involved someone being hit by a bike.

What’s the gov plan for stopping 5 people being killed a day by motor vehicles?

After requests from local communities, we're planning 2 new pedestrian crossings, wider & safer footways and 1.5km of new bus lanes to complement the existing cycle track along St Helier Avenue in Merton & Sutton.

There is similar data for Greater Manchester that shows very, very low risk and I’m working on getting it available to publish as TfL has done.

Was delighted to join Labourstone & Grace Williams last night to celebrate 10 years of Waltham Forest's Mini Holland.
Waltham Forest Council have transformed the area, improving walking, cycling & air quality for residents & inspiring countries around the world.
Massive credit to Labourstone

London's new super sewer - Tideway - will help clean up London's polluted rivers. But we also need to do more to reduce local runoff and flooding with more raingardens and sustainable drainage systems. 🌳🌱☘️🌻🌹🌊

Significant support for the walking & cycling scheme between Wembley Central & Harlesden:
🚲87% thought it'd encourage more people to cycle
🚶‍♀️83% thought it'd encourage more walking

Look forward to working with Brent Council & TfL to progress this asap.
