Our Mental Health Awareness Week research finds that parents are missing out on the mental health benefits of walking. A tenth of parents walk for pleasure less than once a month despite reporting that their fitness and mental health are better afterwards. Find out more: https://bit.ly/4dvqjJh

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

We’ve written jointly to the Mayor, urging action 👇 💷 Oversized vehicle levy in road pricing 🚫📢 No more SUV ads on TfL 🅿️ Parking charges that reflect vehicle size ⚡🚲 Investment in car clubs & cargo bikes ⚖️ Vehicle size limits + weight-based tax Let’s make London’s streets safer for everyone 💪

London has committed to eliminating all road deaths and serious injuries by 2041 - but #carspreading is putting that at risk 🚗 ⬆️ Around a third of cars on London’s roads are now larger SUVs, making streets more dangerous, especially for children.

Camden Council is consulting on plans to improve road safety on Fleet Road (outside Fleet Primary) and nearby streets. There’s a lot to like - submit your comments before this Sunday, 22 March. consultations.wearecamden.org/supporting-c...

"You are five times more likely to survive being hit by a driver doing 20mph versus 30mph." This simple statement is so powerful and consequential that a 20mph limit should be a no-brainer for every urban environment.

Too often, measures to improve air quality -locally and nationally - are opposed as ‘unfair to poorer communities’. In reality, the most deprived areas, including in London, face the worst pollution while being least responsible for it.

🌿 Happy Streets Social 🍻 Join us for a relaxed evening of ideas & connection about better streets for all. 📅 Tue 24 March, 8pm 📍 Freemasons Arms, NW3 ✨ Theme: Children & our neighbourhoods How can we make streets safer, freer & more child-friendly? Come for a drink, stay for the conversation 💚

What a wonderful morning cycling down Heath Street! ☀️😎We definetely need more events like these, also in hilly Hampstead! 😉

A staggering 800,000 days of sick leave and thousands of lives lost. The legacy of Dieselgate is still poisoning our air. It’s time to hold manufacturers accountable and protect our kids' future. Sign the petition below! 👇 #CleanAirCrowd

Solar trams across London, quiet, green and efficient: a dream for air quality and public transport. Why aren't we making this happen? ☀️🚋

Really glad to have been invited to this TfL roundtable about transport in Camden Great to hear what’s working well and have an open conversation about what could be better. Our two main priorities are still the same: more action on school-run traffic and an improved service on the 603 bus!

@camdencouncil.bsky.social is consulting until Sunday 15 February on proposed changes to the Eton Avenue area. We’ve submitted a response in support of the scheme, which we believe would make the area safer, healthier and more pleasant. Not just for pedestrians and cyclists, but for all road users.

This is a fantastic video that helps boost confidence for anyone cycling with children! 👍 🚲

We rightly worry about our children’s mental health, but sometimes forget that small, everyday choices, like walking or cycling to school, can make a big difference, and are easy to build into daily life. 😊

Applications are now open for the second year of Phase 4 of the @camdencouncil.bsky.social Camden Climate Fund, which provides funding to help reduce emissions from our households, businesses and community spaces. For more information and to apply: camdenclimatefund.commonplace.is?utm_campaign...

Ever wondered what happens to pollution once it enters our bodies, and how scientists can detect it? Listen to the first part of this BBC Inside Health podcast. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

The number of US-style pickup trucks on UK roads has almost doubled in the past decade. This is nothing short of terrifying. With bonnet heights over 1m, young children can be completely invisible in front of them. We need stricter rules and a more honest conversation about the risks they pose.

Zipcar has announced it will cease operating in the UK 🚫 This is a real setback for sustainable mobility, as car sharing allows people to access a car when needed without owning one. 🌱 For alternative car-sharing options take a look at CoMoUK the national shared transport charity www.como.org.uk

Last year we were proud to be part of the Year of Clean Air for Camden Schools, a @camdencouncil.bsky.social project supporting over 5,000 pupils to better understand the causes of air pollution and what they can do to reduce emissions and exposure.

Today is #CleanAirNight and we’re delighted to support @mumsforlungs.bsky.social and their campaign to reduce wood burning. Make this the year you stop burning wood indoors, for your own health and for the health of your neighbours 💚

Breaking: removing Tower Hamlets LTNs declared unlawful at court of appeal. Huge congrats to the residents who campaigned on this. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Huge thanks to our volunteers for putting up these posters to help shine a light on the uncomfortable facts about #WoodBurning. Here's a selection from London, Sheffield and Manchester. Can you think twice about burning? #CleanAirNight

Like many others, we’re counting down to the finale of the BBC’s The Traitors. Less exciting is seeing how the show appears to be driving interest in large SUVs like the Land Rover Defender.

🌱 The school run has felt especially tough in NW3 since the start of this spring term. A cold snap ❄️, lots of rain ☔ and widespread roadworks 🚧 across Hampstead and nearby wards have meant closures, bus diversions 🚌 and rising stress levels.

Car parking tends to sterilize and dominate urban spaces, while bike parking weaves itself into the urban fabric right alongside green space. Designing cities at the human scale creates places that people want to be rather than places they only want to pass through.

It was quite Dutch-style roundabouty in Chichester this morning. Running very well in my view.
