Workshops all done and now we are wrapping the day with a discussion on delivery and the changing political landscape with an advent of right wing populism and conspiracies. Excellent discussion with @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social and @anna4labour.bsky.social

Legislation around safe routes to school is totally inadequate. Should it be the school or the LAs responsibility?
Nicola Pastore of @solveschoolrun.bsky.social
talked about the issues at the #labourwalkscycles25 event on Saturday.
Can @helenhayes.bsky.social help?
We urgently need change.
A driver hit a pedestrian in the crossing in front of my son's school today, and the school texted parents asking drivers to please not do that, saying the school has no agency to do anything about this, and telling us to be good role models since all of the school's children are "future drivers."

In Leicester today we are told cars were given priority here over people over the last century. #LabourWalksCycles25

If your council does not have #schoolstreets why not? Seriously? Massive benefits for all.

Right I'll do a little bit of reporting from today's #LabourWalksCycles25 event in Leicester. We've kicked off with Geoff Whittle, assistant Mayor who has inspired us with what the city has been up to in terms of change.

Steve Watkins Chair of @thsg.bsky.social talks about the vital public health role of active travel Great visionary proposals #LabourWalksCycles25

@benwheels.bsky.social points out that blue badges are not the answer to the travel problems of all disabled people. Nor do all disabled people need adapted bikes. Not all disabilities are visible. #LabourWalksCycles25

The vast majority of disabled people can cycle if they have the right equipment and somewhere to keep it. Hire cycle schemes make no provision for disabled people. #LabourWalksCycles25

Such an important campaign. Well worth a follow @solveschoolrun.bsky.social The data on what happens when schools are out is shocking. Multi problematic having 7million cars involved in school run per day ##LabourWalksCycles25

Leicester got the police to confiscate illegal electronic scooters #LabourWalksCycles25

Public Space Protection Orders can be used to control dangerous bikes. #LabourWalksCycles25

Exercise has an enormous effect on human wellbeing but it doesn't get much coverage. #LabourWalksCycles25

#LabourWalksCycles25 gives us a lot of advice about the politics of transport - which splits most parties.

6 million children travel to school sustainably but they are exposed to danger pollution and stress #LabourWalksCycles25
