🚨ONSHORE WIND INCOMING🚨
The new government has just confirmed they're unblocking new onshore wind projects in England TODAY🎉
This is a huge step forward for our climate, economy and energy bills.
Huge shout out to everyone who's got involved with our campaign - we did it😁

Your regular reminder of why the recently announced air pollution reduction in Oxford is important...
"research shows an increased risk of cardiac arrest, heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, bronchitis as well as reduced lung function in children"
kcl.ac.uk/news/living-near-a…
Oxford's air quality results for 2023 are stellar:
📉 NOx down 14% across the city
📉 NOx down inside LTNs
📉 NOx down on LTN boundary roads
📉 NOx down in ZEZ
⚠️ only 2 sites breach UK legal limit (both areas with limited public exposure)

Traffic filters are expected to help reduce air pollution in Oxford by enabling the switch to electric buses and reducing traffic by about 20% across the city. That's good news for our health! See bit.ly/oxfordtrafficfilters for more information and FAQs.

You may have heard about Oxford's traffic filters. But what actually are they? They're cameras that "read" car number plates, just like the ones used by law enforcement and car parks all over the UK. For more information and new FAQs about the filters, see bit.ly/oxfordtrafficfilters

The climate crisis is not a problem for someone else to solve in the future.
It's an emergency that affects us all NOW, no matter where we are 🌍
It is only together that we can tackle climate change.
Happy #MultilateralismDay

Movement brings prosperity.
New report by @createstreets examines how mixed approaches enable:
* Prosperity: making us richer
* Purchasing: making high streets more successful
* Place: making us happier and healthier
* People: making us more free
* Property: making more homes
A new report by @createstreets, supported by @wearecyclinguk, shows why making it easy to get about urban areas in as many ways as possible, including cycling, boosts prosperity, high streets, freedom, happiness, health & house-building

Why can't Oxford make the buses faster before the traffic filters go in? Because we don't have the road space! Traffic filters will reduce congestion and free up room for bus service to improve. See bit.ly/oxfordtrafficfilters for more information about the filters.

Will 100,000 new houses in #Oxfordshire inevitably lead to 140,000 more cars?
Not if we change our approach.
On 20 March 4pm, @createstreets & @tfnhomes will discuss new development models that would work in #Oxfordshire. @oxford_brookes
