Can Green Party members please stop attacking funding for cycling in the process of talking negatively about the #PfG? Cycling infra is essential to making our roads safer for people.

We’ll ignore the fact the housing issues in this country aren’t funding related. They are ideological.

They could have that debate without rubbishing walking and cycling funding, which would bring benefits to public health, communities, social accessibility, quality of life or climate action.
