Grant Shapps

Grant Shapps says we shouldn’t ‘turn a blind eye’ to cyclists breaking road rules - despite nearly 60 times more people killed in collisions with cars per year.

The move will close a legal loophole that means cyclists who kill pedestrians can only be jailed for two years, Grant Shapps said.

The plans will cut journey times, fully electrify lines and also set to cut carbon emissions by up to 87,000 tons per year.
