Today’s powerful front page of the Birmingham Mail.
These crashes are not one-off isolated incidents. Together, the faces of those who have lost their lives on our roads, show us the city needs to urgently change; reminding us of the scale of hurt for families and communities.

Fantastic article by @asmitasarkar30 @BhamWorld_ about how car excess impacts people in Hay Mills. 30 mph is a great start from @BhamCityCouncil but to truly prioritise the safety of residents more road space must be reclaimed for this community. birminghamworld.uk/news/birm…
Birmingham City Council are consulting on 2 schemes in Handsworth that have the aim of reducing rat-running motor traffic on some residential streets. We don’t think the proposals will work - details and consultation links in our article: pushbikes.org.uk/blog/twin-c…

West Midlands Police have started feeding back on reports using cycle cameras. This is an important development. I can now be reassured about my judgement to report, and we can build confidence in this vital tool of road crime prevention. @davidcox65 @pushbikesbcc @adamtranter

Hi Saskia, we have very sophisticated counting data for the cycleway which would be a better overview than anecdotes. These are the average counts per weekday of users this year (1st January to 11th July 2023).
So far in 2023, the Binley cycleway has seen 75,298 cycling trips.

OBR: cost of NOT hitting net zero as much as DOUBLE the cost of achieving the climate target
V big from the Office for Budget Responsibility....
*Costs of NOT zero could be double the costs of reaching it*
They find keeping relying on gas & crisis similar to today's every 10y (v possible as gas = volatile) adds 13% GDP to public debt by 2050

How social media can distort perception of ‘opposition’ - study from @imperialcollege looking at 3 low traffic neighbourhoods - seemed high level anti on Twitter - but accounts anti measures had v few followers + sentiment not translated into election results #CycleCounty2023
ALT Graph showing high level of anti tweets came from accounts with v few followers in Islington

Tweets less than 24 hours apart from libertarian economist @RichardWellings In his worldview, buses are for the “relatively few” and flights are for the “general public.” Actually, 15% of Brits take 70% of all flights, and buses are egalitarian and non-elitist. – at North West, England
