LibDems in #Kingston once again caught out - blaming TfL for not completing important #SaferStreets cycling infrastructure while TfL say they have given all the money cllrs have asked for and questioning the financial competence of cllrs in this project

Steph Archer as former transport boss and Andreas Kirsch as council leader need to come clean or resign and hand over control to someone who is competent

Meanwhile cyclists are put at risk #RoadSafety

#Equality in sport?

The golden boot awards are announced and guess who gets the photo? Yes, it isn’t Nicky Evrard but the male Simon Mignolet

#Belgium #MissedChance

25.7% of households in the borough - Kingston - don’t own a car (or van) according to the ONS census 2021 figures

So why do cllrs here pander so much to cars and so little to those who don’t have them

The future is #CarFree, the future is #ActiveTravel & #PublicTransport

Someone has pointed out this sign directing people to wetlands along the #Kingston riverside

We were wondering if it was directed to Seething Wells in #Surbiton which should be wetlands if the LibDems actually did something instead of letting the owners destroy its #biodiversity

Good at talking green but never acting green the LibDems #Greenwashing

Well done to Steve McAuliffe of Chichester & Arun Green Party who was elected with an increase in vote of 22% yesterday in West Sussex as cllr

Although the Greens held the seat it was a big increase in vote

From this to the wreck it is now

LibDems in #Kingston have allowed this to happen under their noses at Seething Wells in #Surbiton #GreenSpaces

A #biodiversity wasteland now

The U.K.’s greenest cities have a Green Party presence on council

Notice the difference

#GreensMakeTheDifference #GreenSpace

#TempoLimit #20IsPlenty #speedLimit

Whole scale speed reduction in urban areas saves lives. And reduces injuries to people

In #Surbiton the blanket speed limit of 20 was bought in because Green Party former Cllr Sharron Sumner fought for it. In #Kingston it took three attempts because the LibDems were at war with each other

Elsewhere in the borough the LibDems won’t bring it in

We say look after people first - reduce speed #SpeedKills

#OTD last year

The #HostileEnvironment led to this

Protection Seekers seek out protection for a reason. We force them to take unsafe routes. And this is the result of this

#LaManche #RefugeesWelcome

#AirPollution in some parts of #Antwerpen the pollution is so bad that it’s like smoking 20 cigarettes a day

No person should have to put up with this

#CleanAir

(This is repeated across other cities across Europe including #London)
