Emergency services vehicles' journeys are faster and easier if the roads aren't cluttered with private vehicles.

They can get closer to the scene if they aren't having to negotiate on-street parking full of cars.

They will be called to fewer severe road traffic accidents.

Would there be an interest in a London Cycling community? I could look at setting one up.

Yes. Minister in charge of the money and the country's budget.

He is terrified of upsetting the car lobby. As Chancellor of the Exchequer he kept the fuel duty freeze which has so far robbed the Exchequer of £100 billion pounds since it was introduced in 2011.

And he lives in a low traffic neighbourhood himself, it's not like people are driving up and down Downing Street all day, since it's gated at both ends.

"58% of people didn't even know they live in an LTN." I am dead.

But actually that tracks. I live in a post-war housing estate which is effectively an LTN, and most of the residents had no idea until they were losing their minds about the LTN the council were installing round the corner.

I'm travelling at the moment, so I'm going to come back to this later, but I have a few suggestions.

I live in one of the most deprived London boroughs. The council is installing LTNs, school streets, and a borough-wide 20mph limit. Many of the existing housing estates are already LTNs, but because that's how the estate was built, people don't recognise it as an LTN, it's just the estate.

ugh, I'm sorry.

Remember that nobody can take your 28 sober days from you, but try to think how you got to the stage where drinking seemed like a viable option? Do you need to add some more tools to your sober toolbox?

Good afternoon, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT 😁!

Got utterly drenched on my cycle to work so I'm profoundly grateful for the drying room and showers here.

A film and a nice dinner this evening, I think.
