99 years ago today, 10 municipal leaders from across the country sat down together in Lawrence, Kansas for the first official meeting of the National League of Cities.

It's been so inspiring looking back at Waltham Forest's progress over the past 10 years in promoting active travel and a people centred / healthy streets approach to street design. However, while the progress is undeniable and positive changes are clear on the ground, we're still not hitting the heady ambitions outlined in 2015. Your article includes - The council wants the modal share for cycling in Waltham Forest to rise from the current 2% to 10% by 2020. “In this borough 40% of journeys are done by one person in a car travelling less than three miles,” Little maintains. “These are the journeys that are transferrable.” According to the Healthy Streets Scorecard website Waltham Forest cycling mode share is still at 2%. The highest outer London Borough is at 5% (Richmond Upon Thames) - https://lnkd.in/eq3duCMY Will we hit the Mayor's target of 80% of all trips in London to be made on foot, by cycle or using public transport by 2041? Will we hit associated Net Zero and Vision Zero targets? What more can be done to support the positive work being done in areas like Waltham Forest and help other boroughs do the same? Can things be accelerated without creating a backlash from people who feel they are negatively impacted by the changes or don't feel included? Trying to stay positive 😊

Project 2025 - A Conservative Perspective on US Policy Priorities So much rubbish - and fearmongering from the left - has been written about Project 2025 that I thought I'd take a look It runs to nearly 1000 pages and emerges from the careful thinking of 100s of deeply patriotic, concerned Americans from all over civil society Here are the 4 main themes 1. Restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children. 2. Dismantle the administrative state and return self-governance to the American people. 3. Defend our nation’s sovereignty, borders, and bounty against global threats. 4. Secure our God-given individual rights to live freely—what our Constitution calls “the Blessings of Liberty.” Wow! Scary stuff!
