Episode 9: The West Midlands
Listen now
Description
For Episode 9, Ned and Laura bravely venture outside of London and visit Adam's neck of the woods, to explore what's happening in terms of active travel in the West Midlands. We're joined by Cllr Waseem Zaffar, Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment at Birmingham City Council. We ask: What is Birmingham doing well, and what else can be done for cycling and walking in the West Midlands? Hint: It's not using the canal network.
