#Holyrood2026 #SP26 Our #manifesto analysis --> www.spokes.org.uk/2026/04…. We looked at #activetravel, mainly 🚲, and some related transport/environment, but not at 🚌🚆 1 Greens, excellent 2 LibDem, positive in a fairly modest way 3= Labour & SNP, poor 5 Reform, bad 6 Conservative, terrible

Start of spokes article

#Holyrood2026 : Travelling Backwards

The Holyrood election on 7 May is critical to active travel and wider transport policies and budgets for the next 5 years. Is there a local project being planned that you’re looking forward to? – in Edinburgh, say Meadows to George Street, or Portobello to Musselburgh? When and if such projects will happen depends largely on the existence and size of the Scottish Government active travel budget.

Sadly and shockingly, in view of the climate crisis, the cost of living crisis, and the need for healthier lifestyles to help the NHS crisis this year’s manifestos mark a massive deterioration in active travel policies as compared to the 2021 election – or even 2016.

This article includes an analysis of the various party manifestos, and lots of other relevant info. We will add more as it becomes available.

Table comparing AT investment promises in 2021 and 2026 manifestos. Sorry, tables don't come out well in ALT text!

Key to tables below++Very good and/or best+good=mixed, unclear, or less good than other parties-poor (or unrealistic)

2026 v 2021 comparison of AT Investment manifesto commitments
Sadly and shockingly, in view of the climate crisis, the cost of living crisis, and the need for healthier lifestyles to help the NHS crisis the 2026 manifestos mark a massive deterioration in active travel policies as compared to the 2021 election – or even 2016. Only the Greens, and to a lesser extent the Lib Dems, retain positive approaches.
Whilst this applies to many policies and promises, the astonishing contrast is seen clearly in this comparative table on the top issue, active travel investment

2026 manifesto overall comparisons
Note that the manifestos include more transport policies/promises than are shown here, particularly on walk, bus and rail.
We hope this table includes most of the items directly relevant to cycling, as well as some relevant wider transport issues.
Also, note that if something is not in a manifesto, it doesn’t mean it won’t happen, though it is less likely to.

Sitting down to #Layout my #JustMakeShit #Manifesto for the #TTRPG Manifesto Jam by @jellyfishlines.itch.io! It’s a manifesto but also guidance I wish I knew when I was just starting making stuff. And I kind need the reminder constantly, so I will make it into a tiny #Zine to carry around!
