Exercise is so important and being able to go to school on your bike should be fundamental. This should be encouraged, not discouraged. If there are health and safety concerns these need to be addressed, not by scrapping the right to go to school by bike though. Where are the MP,s and AM's again. Silent on the issue!!!

If I can help please get in touch. Paul.halliday@greenearthit.co.uk

Hi Paul,

You ask, "Where are the MPs and AMs again. Silent on the issue!!! "

 

lI have listed some of the main ones above.

 

One thing we are not short of is politicians to represent us.

As I point out, at above local council level, Risca has at least five.

 

Yes five.

 

One in the UK Parliament; a Labour person.

Plus, four others at Welsh Government level, covering together the Conservative, Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democratic Parties.

Spoilt for choice, inluding choice of party.

 

The real questions are:

Are they all the same, in which case the choice is meaningless?

Are any of them going to do something about this?

 

Hopefully most will.

Which politician, Chris Evans, Mohammad Asghar, William Graham, Jocelyn Davies or Veronica German will do the least, or even nothing at all?

Let's see.
