This #pavementparking hinders the school run for so many children every day.

Ping @BOSAtpgroup. We need to all join-up and have a strategy. Some coordinated civic action may be in order.
@Kate0liver
Kiddo can just squeeze by these instances of #pavementparking but not enough space for a buggy or a wheelchair. Especially irritating when I see these people come into #BS5 -no RPZ- to park their cars while they work.

Another council cracking on with Liveable Neighbourhoods / Low Traffic Neighbourhoods.
What's Bristol's plan?
Please can we have an outline of the plan for Liveable Neighbourhoods @BristolDon ?
✅Friendly streets where the air is cleaner
✅Reduced pollution
✅Cut road traffic collisions and carbon emissions
✅Reclaiming local streets for the local community
Cabinet have agreed to introduce trial LTNs in Bounds Green, Bruce Grove and St Ann’s - bit.ly/31BOpB7

“Pavement parking can be necessary to maintain the free flow of traffic,” says Under Secretary of State for transport @CharlotteV Looks like UKGOV won’t create national policy on pavement parking; local councils to be left with it. @guidedogs @livingstreets – at Byker, England
Have now had a response to my letter to @grantshapps on #pavementparking - see what you think of it!

If you want to see Liveable Neighbourhoods / safer streets in your area before 2025 please ask your councillor what you can do.
And..
What will the council do to help you develop Liveable Neighbourhoods?

Good to meet with Mayor Dan Norris @votedannorris today - amongst other issues, we talked about the problem of pavement parking.
BWA stance: Implement a London-style pavement parking ban

...and don't get me started on pavement parking on bin day (especially when pushing a pram / with a child on a scooter)...

The reality of parking on pavements, forces vulnerable pedestrians onto the road. Despite campaigning for 5years @BristolCouncil @MarvinJRees don’t see it as an important issue. Is this an acceptable way for a child to walk to school? Who has priority, the child or the driver?

Doing a piece on PAVEMENT PARKING on @bbcrb tomorrow. This is from an hour pottering about earlier. Some belters here…..big Q tho….would a ban really be practical in Bristol?

Hello.... how can this parking be considered as safe or courteous? Corner of Falmouth & Hatherley Road. What can we do to prevent such selfish parking? @BOSAtpgroup @bishmatters @bishopstonvoice
Bishopston and St Andrews Traffic & Parking Group retweeted
Please can we have our pavements back for pedestrians and not car parking. This forces us all including parents with small children and vulnerable people out into the road to confront traffic hurtling along. @MarvinJRees @BristolCouncil @BristolDon
I agree with @livingstreets: there can be no more stalling on #PavementParking in England.
@thangammp, as my MP I would like you to read their open letter to Grant Shapps and help us #ReclaimOurPavements.

Had enough of pavement parking in England? Me too.
Join @livingstreets' new campaign to #ReclaimOurPavements and tell the DfT: no more stalling on #PavementParking. act.livingstreets.org.uk/pag…

Bristol doesn't have a plan or strategy for:
❌Active Travel
❌Walking
❌Cycling
❌School Streets
❌Cycle Hangars
But it was going to have a Liveable Neighbourhoods strategy in 2022, this was what a lot of residents were holding out for, until it was pulled last week.
Actual : One trial LTN in place by March 2023
Election Manifesto 2021 : Roll out at least 2 LTNs with a view to expanding it.
Cutting it a bit fine for May 2024?

Bristol named the worst city for dangerous driving in the UK - Bristol Live. Every cyclist in Bristol knows this already. More enforcement is needed by @ASPBristol. bristolpost.co.uk/news/brist…

BWA 'asks' to improve walking routes
· Identify & sign key walking routes into the city centre & between neighbourhoods
· Incorporate continuous pavements as part of road improvements, including bus corridor schemes
