Birmingham City Council Cabinet has today agreed a 12-year electric vehicle strategy. Around 3,000 electric vehicle charge-points will be rolled-out across Birmingham to reduce city emissions by 50% in 2030, compared to 2020 - orlo.uk/YXFaW
Road space is being reallocated from general traffic to bicycles on Edgbaston Road, according to a key principle of Birmingham Transport Plan of encouraging more people to cycle and walk to improve personal and environmental health, as we work towards net zero carbon by 2030:]

That’s a bloody good point. Now is the time to regain and reset our High Streets with soul, community and a bit of joy.

Today - 20 May 2020 - I asked central government to support a default 20mph limit for all residential streets in Birmingham. A letter has been sent to @grantshapps & I look forward to further backing from MPs and the local community who want a safer city for future generations. – at Birmingham, England

Getting hit by a car at 70km/h is like falling from the 6th floor. At 50km, it's like the 3rd floor, & at 30km it’s like the 1st. And that’s before we factored in that vehicles have been getting bigger & deadlier.
Speed kills. Slowing down would literally save millions of lives.

ALL residential streets could become 20mph in Birmingham plus more camera enforcement. Bold, beautiful words in new safety plan. Thanks @bham20mph birminghammail.co.uk/news/mi…

RT: With the new blue cycle routes soon to be opening on the A34 New Town Row/High St corridor & then on the A38 Bristol Rd/Bristol St corridor, we're working with @WMPRHRT to make drivers aware of the new road layouts.
Remember: Think BLUE, let cyclists through #BrumsOnBikes

Unnecessary Obstruction wins you a fine whilst parking on White ZigZags earns you points and a fine. We've been on patrol and have come across these vehicles which have won this weeks tickets.
