My @Plume_Labs Flow AQ monitor has arrived! It’s time to hit the streets and find out just how toxic the air we breathe is...#AirPollution

Some fabulously prominent anti-idling signage at level crossing in Highams Park, London. Would be good to see more of this...the signage there is usually invisible to motorists #noidling – at Walthamstow, London
School Streets definitely help but much bigger problem than school run...it’s attitudinal...and and as we’ve seen in London, illegality on its own seems to make very little difference. Needs to be part of comprehensive package of measures #PavementParking – at Walthamstow, London
If you're affected by #PavementParking, then feel free to have a rant at Government via this consultation: gov.uk/government/consultati…
The consultation ends on the 22nd November.

Enforcement and fines for sure, but householders imo need to take some responsibility and challenge rather than excuse their delivery drivers/builders etc. Many London streets just weren’t built to accommodate current traffic volumes and car ownership #pavementparking – at Walthamstow, London

NEW: Tfl polling says 51% support their local Low Traffic Neighbourhood. 16% against.

1/3. Quick favour please! We recently responded to the government's consultation on the phase-out of new sales of petrol/diesel/hybrid cars, asking for the date to be brought forwards to 2030, preferably sooner. It cannot come soon enough.

Letter out to all @wfcouncil #GPs today incl. a Surgery poster asking them to use #wfminiholland infrastructure & behaviour change opportunities to help combat #obesity & other health impediments by prescribing #cycling. @WeSupportWFMH @willnorman @NHS_WFCCG @Chris_Boardman
Why is it only the Dutch who seem to have the vision to redefine their relationship with the car? More of this please theguardian.com/world/2020/s… – at Walthamstow, London

Just had an aggressive entitled driver force me off a v narrow road while out on the bike. Not for the first time recently. But hey he sounded his horn loudly just before so that’s Ok. What is it about these drivers thinking cyclists must cede the road to them? – at Walthamstow, London
Hi @BBCr4today I thought u might be interested in some evidence re traffic evaporation & #LowTrafficNeighbourhoods in light of your piece earlier. A pity that some campaigners are making baseless assertions about traffic displacement. londonlivingstreets.com/2019… – at Walthamstow, London

Extracts from a lengthy email I’ve received from a @wfcouncil resident, also a practising GP in @IslingtonBC on the impact of #HilltopE17 #wfminiholland #LowTrafficNeighbourhood. #AGPSpeaks. @WeSupportWFMH @willnorman @London_Cycling @sustrans @LabourCycles @RichardWatts01
This is what the Highway Code has to say about giving space to cyclists. Had a interesting exchange with a driver over weekend who felt I should have thanked him for sounding his horn so I could let him pass before parking around corner #DriverEntitlement highwaycodeuk.co.uk/using-th… – at Walthamstow, London
Remember that distant time when we referred to these monstrosities as Chelsea Tractors 🚜? I liked it as it captured how inappropriate SUVs are in the urban environment 1/2 – at Walthamstow, London
With SUVs the second largest cause of increased emissions since 2010 campaigners are calling for an advertising ban. theguardian.com/environment/…
But the question is: should the term #ChelseaTractor be revived or should campaigners come up with a new one more in step with #BuildBackBetter and the #ClimateEmergency? There doesn’t seem to be the stigma there once was when you might have been the only tractor driver in the rd – at Walthamstow, London
