Brilliant watching people realise they could step off the pavement and enjoy the full space. How long until we’re asking “Wasn’t it always like this?” More streets like this please: greener, healthier and more welcoming.26 Oct 2026 12:44 +0000at://did:plc:fpq7qnluysat2pnvg2mao7sb/app.bsky.feed.post/3myrqt2zjlk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/zakbond.bsky.social/post/3myhtkn2uc223London has been leading the way in cleaning up our PHV fleet, but going fully electric has to be the goal. So it's good to see TfL proposing this crucial next step which will lead to a fully electric private hire fleet. Wish we had such clarity for vans! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqj9k78gvgnxo22 Oct 2026 14:07 +0000at://did:plc:fpq7qnluysat2pnvg2mao7sb/app.bsky.feed.post/3myhtkn2uc223https://bsky.app/profile/zakbond.bsky.social/post/3myhgbxj65c2rThe ZEV mandate isn't just climate policy, it's health policy too. Weakening it keeps petrol and diesel vehicles on our roads for longer. More dirty air, more ill health, more pressure on the NHS. Cleaner vehicles and healthier communities need clear policy, not instability!22 Oct 2026 10:09 +0000at://did:plc:fpq7qnluysat2pnvg2mao7sb/app.bsky.feed.post/3myhgbxj65c2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/zakbond.bsky.social/post/3mxh3bqpi622r𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐬 𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧.

While diesel vans are getting more expensive to run, cargo bikes are becoming a practical and cheaper option for more and more businesses.01 Oct 2026 10:54 +0000at://did:plc:fpq7qnluysat2pnvg2mao7sb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwsoyilgz22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/zakbond.bsky.social/post/3mvzfiuznpk2jI've made a Starter Pack of people and organisations pushing for sustainable transport in London - who have I missed!? go.bsky.app/R2Scca8 https://go.bsky.app/R2Scca821 Sep 2026 09:27 +0000at://did:plc:fpq7qnluysat2pnvg2mao7sb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvzfiuznpk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/zakbond.bsky.social/post/3muhh432xmk2eLondon has too many diesel vans on our streets. 100,761 diesel vans were registered by businesses at the end of 2025, compared with just 5,582 electric vans. I’ve written for @lcefuk.bsky.social about how a zero-emission freight zone could help turn this around, building on the Dutch success. https://lcef.co.uk/blog/zero-emission-freight01 Sep 2026 12:43 +0000at://did:plc:fpq7qnluysat2pnvg2mao7sb/app.bsky.feed.post/3muhh432xmk2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/zakbond.bsky.social/post/3mt2cwbevxs22“The switch to EVs is the single biggest contributor to cutting UK carbon pollution in the next decade, according to the government’s Climate Change Committee.” Yet Andy Burnham wants to consider slowing the transition away from petrol and diesel?!
