Welsh 20mph Limits ....Give them what they want !!! Our first introductory blog is a short one, and covers the suggested repeal of 20mph limits on some Welsh roads. themphcollective.uk/2024/04/29/wel…
Brutal fight. ❤️😂

Lots of F1 drivers are named after Scottish places. Stirling Moss Louis Hamilton Ayr Town centre.
Shame on you @KenSkatesMS. This was an extensively researched and well-delivered piece of work. 6 months on and your desire to appease the noisy minority will cost lives; primarily those you're pretending to want to protect. Hollow politics; we deserve better.

Lots of fuss around #20mphlimits #LTNS the mythical war on motorists etc as usual at the moment ....there is only one reason such measures are necessary and it's in this blog....the small problem group brought greater restrictions upon themselves .... trafficwmp.wordpress.com/2017/02/10/dri…
@anon_opin This reminds me of that age-old tweet:
A 20mph or 30km/h default speed limit is an important aspect for those developing 15-minute cities Here is a useful article on "Why has the ‘15-minute city’ taken off in Paris but become a toxic idea in UK?" | Cities | The Guardian - bit.ly/4auxrTC
What, like 1000s of hit & run drivers every fucking year & increasing year on year! Why lower our standards to be like you self-entitled bigoted lil drivers who think the roads are theirs alone! And get some Bikeability training coz most you think we're doing wrong is LEGAL! 🖕🖕

The fragility of the anti-20mph cult is somewhat astonishing. It's obvious that they've got this uneasy feeling that someone's coming for their cars and they might be coming on two wheels and wearing Lycra. Reminds me rather of the US gun lobby.
Good article from Zoe Williams. I think the right hate cycling because it's a positive force for good and doesn't make money for big corps. Every time you ride a bike you make you healthier and society better. For free. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
To be clear, I am not "anti-car", we have one and use it...I am anti so much car and excessive car dependency. I also want us to reduce the subsidy we collectively provide to car use/ownership ... swalesmetroprof.blog/2023/04/17/car…
If anyone would like to help this chap get a balanced response with the survey for his 20mph GCSE project. @20splentyforus @SustransCymru forms.office.com/Pages/Response…

I have tried...but to no avail. @WelshConserv don't understand: #1 induced demand #2 external costs of car use #3 wider benefits of more PT.... oh and what a "blanket" it is, and what a "ban" is for that matter! Read my blogs for help on any of this! swalesmetroprof.blog
🥀 Labour have the wrong priorities on transport in Wales: ❌ Blanket 20mph speed limits. ❌ Road building ban. ❌ Scrapping the M4 relief road. 📺 Watch @natasghar outline her plan to get Wales moving.
We’re investing nearly £13m to develop a nature-based scheme for our storm overflow near Pontypool that will help boost water quality, enhance biodiversity and create a space for the community to enjoy.

Genuinely terrifying. The scientific consensus on human caused climate change is as strong as the one that agrees that smoking causes cancer and that (left untreated) HIV causes aids. It’s not understood by the public because of the deliberate decades long misinformation campaign…
Make no mistake. In Wales the Conservatives both led and facilitated Wales setting 20mph as the national urban/village speed limit, aided by the Westminster government. They are only now opposing for political opportunism. See 20splenty.org/2023_quiz
@bsec_wales @RichardWellings Say you don't know anything about physics without saying you don't know anything about physics...
@RichardWellings It's about safety. Nothing more sinister than that. However, "nudging people out of their cars" as you put it, for journeys they do need to make is a good thing. Not least because it means more space on the roads for those who *are* making a necessary journey.
@BenGoldsmith What utter bullshit. This shows the anger young people have towards the Tories and the ruling class last of which Rees Mogg is a part. And I am with them every step of the way. Fuck the Tories.
@Care4Cardiff Ukrainian refugees but hey don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story.

"It’s one thing popping them in there for a spin round the park, which is fine, but quite another to sail along the Ormeau Road at rush hour... between physical proximity of vehicles and air pollution." ➡️belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/i-find… belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/i-find…
