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/...

In under 24 hours, over 500 people have already contacted their MP! It's obvious that @livingstreets.bsky.social supporters recognise the need for safer streets is urgent, and the current level of danger on our roads is unacceptable. Take action⬇️ act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/174678/...

What would safer streets mean to you? 🙋 Living Streets and The Bikeability Trust have outlined key policies that the Gov's upcoming Road Safety Strategy should adopt. Please write to your MP today, urging them to call on the Government to hear us. act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/174678/...

Thanks to BBC Breakfast for having our Director of External Affairs on the sofa to talk about #NationalWalkingMonth and why we’ve joined forces with @bikeabilityuk.bsky.social to call for safer streets. Watch via the link from about 07:20am. Here's what she said 🧵 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

In a new blog, our Public Affairs and Campaigns Coordinator, @vineyzak.bsky.social, explains why the Integrated Transport Strategy can help us take important steps to shape communities where walking and wheeling are prioritised. Read it here: www.livingstreets.org.uk/blog/our-vis...

Excellent news! @livingstreets.bsky.social WOW - the walk to school challenge sets up the habit of taking active journeys for life, with WOW schools seeing a 30% reduction in car journeys taken to the school gate and a 23% increase in walking rates.

“Living Streets Cymru is delighted that the latest data indicates that 20mph speed limits have saved lives and reduced casualties on our roads," says our @charitycat.bsky.social in response to @welshgovernment.bsky.social statistics published today. www.livingstreets.org.uk/press-media/...

Congratulations to @heidialexander.bsky.social on your new appointment as Transport Secretary. We look forward to working with you as we campaign to make walking and wheeling safe and accessible options for everyone.

Delighted to have helped to deliver an event which saw excellent cross-sector engagement & political buy-in. A full house in Westminster is testament to the efforts of so many that made the #PedestrianPound an invaluable resource to decision makers and campaigners alike! @livingstreets.bsky.social

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...
