During my years as a Member of Parliament (MP) and Government Minister, I built a solid understanding of what cuts through to Westminster, and the power of local voices. In fact, grassroots campaigning is how I first got into politics in the first place. The most important pieces of information were not always from strategy documents or statistics, but from the people who turned up and made themselves heard.
The ones who invited me for a bike ride, flagged down a conversation at a school gate, or wrote a thoughtful email about how their child couldn’t cross the road safely. Those were the moments that really stuck. And when it comes to making a difference in active travel, they’re often the ones who move things forward.
