Using the kerbside - where we mostly just park cars - for trees and sustainable drainage schemes (and EV charging) would make a real difference to our borough, on land we don't need to pay for.

Amazing progress in Southwark with the installation of 165 pedestrian crossings in 6 years ๐Ÿคฉ Thereโ€™s been some very welcome additions in Richmond at Keller Gardens and Richmond Bridge, to name a few - but a lot more needed to make walking a natural, everyday choice!

But then, on that same 20 minute walk, I faced this. A van undertaking property work, entirely blocking the footway. This was the first of two occasions where I had to step out into the road to continue my journey (neither were due to a Lime bike).

Today marks four years since the consultation on a #PavementParking ban in England - and we're still waiting for action. Disabled campaigner Katie Pennick says: "In this photo you can see what happens when parking places are put on the pavement. My wheelchair does not fit!"

A car just reversed onto the pavement and very nearly hit me; I had to push my wheelchair really fast to escape out the way. The driver then yelled out the window, โ€œitโ€™s dangerous to walk in front of a moving vehicle you fucking retard!โ€ I was on *the pavement*.

London's air is getting cleaner thanks to ULEZ. It's a huge win for clean air and climate action. But to truly tackle emissions, we need to go further: cut traffic, curb SUVs, and invest in sustainable transport๐Ÿ‘‡ lbc.co.uk/opinion/views/โ€ฆ
