There’s been a surge in walking and cycling in the #pandemic. Government has promised extra billions. It’s what @TheGreenParty has campaigned for, for many years. So how is it looking in #Sheffield?

A THREAD ...
To set the scene … since the 1960s, Sheffield had been developed to encourage the private car. Politicians competed for the motorist’s vote.

The £2 billion, 25-year #PFI contract with #Amey failed to enhance safe pedestrian crossings or walking routes, safe cycling facilities, safe dropped kerbs for wheelchair users, safe routes to school.

It was a contract to keep roads just as they had been 25 years previously.

Lots of good people, on all sides, lost @HouseofCommons seats in #GE2019 - often in v unjustified ways. But I feel special sadness at the loss of @pmasterton1985 @LukeGrahamOSP

Wonderful Scots #MPs who I was proud to help.Will be much missed☹️ ImageImageImageImage
Parliamentary colleagues will all miss Labour’s @RuthSmeeth @CarolineFlintMP LD @joswinson + @lucianaberger who = eloquent, fearless + friendly ... but, I suspect, few will miss the likes of @DerbyChrisW + @LauraPidcockMP ... the @HouseofCommons is collaborative most of the time
As the dust settles I leave you with 1 last #GE2019 thought: understand that all GE #candidates,+ #councillors too, have the courage and commitment to put their head above the parapet + make their case.
#Democracy is a great thing. Can’t do this without people willing to try 👍 Image
