NEW: 50+ transport and health groups have written to the Government calling for clear targets in the upcoming Cycling & Walking Investment Strategy 3, as well as a comprehensive plan for a national active travel network, matching the long-term strategic focus given to roads.
ALT Active travel groups call for clear targets on walking and cycling in England Exclusive: Groups including British Cycling call for active travel strategy to be put on equal footing with road and rail
ALT Cycling & Walking Investment Strategy 3 (CWIS3) Dear Secretary of State, Active travel directly advances all five of the Government’s missions — improving health, creating opportunity, delivering safer streets, driving economic growth and meeting our decarbonisation commitments. To realise this potential, the forthcoming Cycling & Walking Investment Strategy 3 (CWIS3) must move from good intentions to a clear, long-term, fully deliverable national plan comparable to other strategic transport programmes. Currently, CWIS3’s proposed objectives, “ensuring people are safe to travel actively” and “ensuring people feel it is an easy choice”, are open to interpretation and not measurable.

Criminals tearing up our roads and disguising their numberplates are getting away with joke penalties when they should be facing lifetime driving bans.

🚴♂️ Pedalling Progress in Parliament! 🚶♀️
Last week, I had the pleasure of joining the @APPGCW 2025 Parliamentary Bike Ride - a brilliant way to kickstart the day and champion active travel!
We were led by Lillian Greenwood MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Future of Roads, and Paul Huijts, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the UK - both passionate advocates for sustainable transport.
Together, we cycled around 7 miles, sharing ideas and conversations about how we can better support walking and cycling across the UK. 🚲💬

It’s been four and a half years since the Government consultation on banning pavement parking with still no outcome.
“For most people, being pushed into the road to walk around cars is not nice. But for some, that is literally putting them off leaving the house.”

To help improve bike parking, we're funding more parking bays for dockless e-bikes across the capital. This is one of 34 new bays delivered in Brent last year.

All that incredible engineering and they can't make the number plate stick. Seems to be a theme with supercars. Ticket +report to DVLA re misuse of plate. Number plate=accountability. What if your loved ones were hit by a car with no plate and the driver got away with it?
