Mike Hardy in Gloucestershire: So Ed Milliband wants a decade to "fix" the economy? Seems fair, it took Blair a decade to wreck it.

Labour wants walking and cycling to become more attractive, Ms Creagh explains. She says all heavy goods vehicles would have to be fitted with safety devices to protect pedestrians and cyclists, under a Labour government.

Mark Jackson in Chatham, Kent: I Like some of the things I am hearing out of the "new look" Labour Party, but I still don't feel inspired to vote for any of the parties. Their messages are still not galvanising me into election fever. There is little to choose between them.

Ms Creagh calls for "big change" to the way the railways are run and pledges that Labour would put passengers "back at the heart" of the railway. She said the party would cap fares, tackle the "monopoly market" for rail rolling stock and devolve decisions on rail services "much closer to communities".

Conference turns to transport matters now, with a speech by Mary Creagh, the shadow transport secretary. She tells delegates that Labour would make a "swift decision" on airport expansion if elected, and support "any city that wants London-style buses and smart, integrated tickets to have them".

On air pollution, Ms Eagle says a future Labour government would introduce a national framework of low emission zones, to encourage "greener, less-polluting vehicles". She says the government is on course to miss the carbon targets set by Labour, despite David Cameron's pledge to lead the "greenest government ever".

Maria Eagle takes a swipe at privatised utilities, claiming water companies are making huge profits at the expense of customers, with "one in five" people struggling to pay their water bills. "It's just not good enough," she tells the hall, and adds that Labour would ensure a "fairer" and "more affordable" deal, including by giving the regulator powers to modify water company licences.

Shadow environment secretary Maria Eagle has the stage now. She too opens with an attack on the government's record, on environment, poverty and education. She pledges that Labour would put a stop to the government's "inhumane and ineffective" badger culls.

In a rallying call to conference, Michael Dugher concludes: "Let's get out there. Let's drag David Cameron kicking and screaming out of Downing Street. Let's get Ed Miliband into No 10. Let's make the big changes this country needs."

Mr Dugher accuses the Conservatives of dragging their heels on the issue of TV debates ahead of the general election. He announces that he will write to Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps to urge him to get the ball rolling, so a time and date for the debates can be fixed.

Alan Lomax: Miliband wants 10 years to fix Britain. Joke. The Labour Party broke the country in the first place!!

Mr Dugher says the Conservative Party is "on the slide". Membership numbers have halved under David Cameron's leadership, he tells conference, and says party members are "officially endangered species" - "rarer in numbers than hippos", apparently.

It's time for a speech from shadow Cabinet Office minister Michael Dugher now, during which he launches an attack on the government's record in office. He directs his criticism at the Conservative Party - which he says has given up economically and politically in many parts of the country.

Ellie Reeves, who is chairing this morning's proceedings in the main hall, announces that conference is already running behind schedule. Moving on to the next item of business, she invites Mohammad Taj - the first Muslim president of the Trades Union Congress - to the stage to address delegates.
