For the #ActiveTravel crowd, if you haven't seen this video yet, I recommend watching. Insightful and thought provoking I think. And for the councillors that will be elected this week it offers a good reminder - a noisy campaign, whether on socials or on the streets, doesn't mean majority support!

โ€œPotholes fuel voter frustration so what can be done?โ€ Pass a law so motorists canโ€™t sue for damage. Stop maintaining roads only pavements and cycle lanes. The active travel revolution will be born! #ActiveTravel #Roads #PotHoles #Walking #Cycling
London is a very walkable city #banksy #activetravel #walkablecities

There's a local council consultation re local cycle infrastructure just opened. A local (and indeed nationally recognised) #activeTravel proponent is rallying the #cycling troops, but has suggested that if people don't know what to say they use LLMs to help them out including giving prompts they might use.
