Is this a familiar scene?🤦 We're sharing more pavement parking pics uploaded by the public on our interactive map. We need your help in finding the worst pavement parking hotspots in England 📍 Click here to add your photos 👇 http://bit.ly/3KALJKl

This would be a UK first and demonstrates real commitment to pedestrian safety. Children are eight times more likely to be killed in an SUV collision than with a smaller car. By switching to smaller vehicles we can create cleaner and safer streets for all http://bit.ly/492FGIn

We met @edmilibandmp.bsky.social in his Doncaster North constituency to talk about the benefits of walking to school. We're looking forward to working with Ed, South Yorkshire MCA and @mydoncaster.bsky.social to help shape safer streets in Doncaster for children to walk, wheel, cycle and scoot.

5 years ago, the Government consulted on how dangerous pavement parking could be tackled in England. The Government has yet to respond. If pavement parking is a problem in your area, fill out our form and add to our map of danger hotspots across the UK act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/176767/...

“The Welsh Government’s priorities are for more connected, healthier and sustainable journeys by focussing on walking and integration with public transport, particularly with buses." MS KenSkates speaking at the @livingstreets.bsky.social event on Tuesday

We loved today's walkshop looking at Cardiff streets through the eyes of children and parents for @landorlinks.bsky.social Healthy and Active School Journeys conference. What would streets designed by kids look like? 💡

Join us for this event which will discuss the future of high streets in Wales. Chaired by the fabulous @willhaycardiff.bsky.social!

Early bird tickets now available! #WalkingSummit

100 fewer people were killed or seriously injured on Welsh roads with 20mph/30mph speed limits in the year since 20mph became the default in built-up areas. It’s the reason we campaigned for the change. Help us continue campaigning for safer streets. livingstreets.org.uk/appeal

This is amazing re: 20mph impact in Wales - collisions on Welsh roads at their lowest level for that quarter since records began, and 100 fewer people killed on 20mph and 30mph roads. That's 100 people alive today who potentially wouldn't otherwise be here...

A little bit slower, but woweeee, a whole lot better! 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured in just a year. What a result?! Who can honestly argue with that? Something @welshgovernment.bsky.social should be so proud of. Let's not undermine this fantastic change to our streets. #20mph rocks

1 YEAR OF 20MPH There were around 100 fewer people killed / seriously injured on 20/30mph roads. Casualties from July-Sept was the lowest Q3 figures in Wales since records began. Over the year the number of casualties on 20/30mph roads is 28% lower than the year before. Good policy making.

You don't always have to travel miles into the countryside to see a wildlife spectacular. On Saturday eve I spotted an amazing starling murmuration above Cowbridge Rd West. #Cardiff www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Very icy pavements in #Cardiff this morning!

Our Chief Exec @charitycat.bsky.social says: “We welcome this news - pavements are for people, but abandoned bikes and e-bikes block routes for disabled people, families with prams and those living with sight loss." metro.co.uk/2024/12/16/h...

"No matter where we are in the UK, we deserve clear pavements, which means we need clear laws." - @blinddaduk.bsky.social That’s why we’re raising funds with our @biggive.bsky.social #ChristmasChallenge to continue our campaigns, including pushing for action on #PavementParking.

Terence Bendixson OBE has been a fierce advocate for walking for 50 years. “The long-standing assumption that streets should be allocated to cars and vans is being challenged. We are on the brink of a revolution.” Read his story for the Big Give livingstreets.org.uk/terencebendi...

Amazing result for Wales tonight! Here’s what me and my Dad thought: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today is the first day of the @BigGive! Your donation this #GivingTuesday will help support our campaigns on everything from banning #PavementParking to making school streets safer. Even better, every donation will be doubled! donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

Sorry to see Lou Haigh step aside, but good to see @HeidiAlexander.Bluesky.social pick up the transport brief with the many challenges of meeting vision zero, decarbonising transport and ensuring accessibility. Heidi’s experience as Deputy Mayor for Transport should stand her in good stead.

#PavementParking is dangerous and frustrating. To share your story, use our online template to write to your local paper today. It's time for change! ⏳ act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/161654/...

England should follow Wales’ lead and embed the sustainable transport hierarchy in national policy and investment decisions

A full house for the Westminster launch of our #PedestrianPound report! Thank you to everyone who joined us and to our panel: 👣 @lindayueh.bsky.social 👣 Fabian Hamilton MP 👣 Simon Lightwood MP 👣 & our own @charitycat.bsky.social www.livingstreets.org.uk/policy-repor...

Loving these graphics 'Happy four year anniversary!... It would be good to catch up'. What's the plan to end #pavementparking in England?

Today @livingstreets.bsky.social @cyclinguk.bsky.social and @sustrans.bsky.social are calling on the Welsh Government to ensure that walking, wheeling and cycling remain a priority in public investment. Now is not the time for a backward step. I explain why: www.livingstreets.org.uk/blog/let-s-w...

Great insights - a really fab listen

Looking forward to tucking into this, this weekend.

Thank you to Louise Haigh MP and Ed Clancy OBE for joining us at a WOW school in #Sheffield today to celebrate the steps pupils at Manor Lodge are taking to get more active on the journey to school! @southyorksmca.bsky.social www.livingstreets.org.uk/press-media/...

The #20mph policy in #Wales has saved 45m, prevented 500 people being injured or killed on our roads and cut car insurance all in just 9 months. So why did the policy also start a culture war? Great article by @willhaycardiff.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
