Here's why the new CYCLOPS junction in @TraffordCouncil is the best so far for accessibility

“This used to be a car park” - @H_H_Gray


Electoral reform is needed more than ever.

This should be the norm on all residential roads. Aside from the obvious safety and wellbeing benefits of calming traffic, street trees reduce flood risk and reduce temperatures during heatwaves.

Can you think of any better way to slow drivers down than planting trees in the middle of the road

As principal structural engineer for the restoration of @RochdaleCouncil Town Hall, I travelled from Manchester weekly for three years. Cycling to Rochdale was stressful & muddy; I'd have benefitted from smooth cycle tracks to town via Castleton @PhilipBurke1 #ApprovePhase2

Our streets are for everyone ❤️ We got out and about in #Salford with decision makers, stakeholders and our friends at @WeAreCyclingUK, to highlight some of the issues faced by disabled cyclists.

49% of GM want to walk or wheel more, and 40% want to cycle more. (@Sustrans) We need ALL boroughs to follow Chorlton/@ManCityCouncil's lead and help make active travel the natural choice. Watch Gareth's interview in full on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/watch?v=pbfWw8…


I’ll vote for whoever promises these and isn’t literally evil 💧 Fix our water and sewage infrastructure, cap profits 🚲 Public transport back under public control, and vast expansion of active travel 🌳 End all subsidies and public investment in fossil fuels


Kidical Mass is such a powerful initiative; never fails to get smiles and support from the drivers and passersby we encounter. The people in this video are the future of Manchester - a cleaner, healthier, friendlier city.

THE LARGEST UK KIDICAL MASS EVER WOW that was absolutely incredible The message is clear - families want safer streets to cycle in Greater Manchester

All councils in GM have approved the Streets for All design guide This is what they've agreed to on our major radial and orbital bus routes We're fresh out of elections showing an overwhelming mandate for active travel CRSTS is not just for buses @AndyBurnhamGM @bevcraig79
