Good meeting with @crewennady @CrispinTruman et al of @CPRE and @CommunityPlann1 Two grassroots organisations with a similar agenda to stop the real value of towns and countryside being totally extracted by development growth @RosieP4 @CarolineDibden @ExplorerDale
Very much appreciated the opportunity to present @CPRE ground breaking research on rural bus services at the @RSNonline Rural Vulnerability Day Conference this morning. Thanks to @MClar2 for a splendid job chairing. #RuralVulnerability #RuralTransport #LevellingUp

Great to see @IPPR call for the government to guarantee seven days a week public transport connectivity for all rural areas.
We agree.
It’s time for an hourly bus service for every village in England.
🚨🚗⚡️ | NEW: Shifting to electric vehicles isn’t enough - public transport, walking and cycling need a greater role
An #EV focused decarbonisation plan would see a 28% rise in car use by 2050 and less space for nature
We need a target to cut car use 🧵

Wales have put a freeze on all new road building projects 👏 👏
Let’s see the same in England and spend the money on vital bus services not environmentally damaging roads.

Plans for a third Menai crossing and other new routes are put on hold while a review is held.

Not too late to add your name to call for @BorisJohnson to commit to a binding target to halt nature's decline. Sign and RT!
200,000 people are now calling for @BorisJohnson to put a a binding nature recovery deadline in law & today a cross party amendment to the #EnvironmentBill will be debated that could make this a reality.
Help guarantee a better #StateofNature RT & sign👇

Last week, we took a message in a bottle to Downing Street - signed by more than 32,000 people - calling on the government to introduce an all-in #DepositReturn Scheme (DRS) by 2023.
Thank you to all of you who signed the petition! 👏👏
Over to you @BorisJohnson!
Happy #SummerSolstice!
Here in the UK we'll have over 16 hours, 38 minutes of daylight! 🕗 ☀️
How are you enjoying the lighter, brighter evenings?
We’re so close to a binding target to end our #StateofNature’s decline. @uxbridgewalrus Lord Krebs @kateparminter & @WhitchurchGirl are today asking Gov't to change just one word in law to guarantee more 🐝🦋🌳🦔🐦
Help demand the change nature needs 👇
