There are so many dynamic, progressive and determined women working in the climate and active travel space. It's a privilege to know them and have had the opportunity to sit down and chat Katherine Dunne — Women Changemakers Leading the Climate Revolution medium.com/p/katherine-du…

Thrilled to celebrate #WeFeedTheUK at Wolves Lane! Local food practices maximise value for people, communities, economies & environments. Haringey’s Black Rootz project shows how community farms deliver food justice wefeedtheuk.org/story/food-justice-served-fresh-from-community-farms/ 🌱

London's updated #VisionZero plan shows 20mph zones cut child road deaths by 75% & overall casualties by 34%. But with 110 people still killed on our roads last year, we need urgent action on safe speeds & street design. The data is clear - let's act on it. 🚸

Fantastic to see @FerryLaneN17 leading the way in waste prevention! Today they were recognised at EcoPark House for their outstanding work in the @connectNLWA In the Know programme - showing how north London schools can make a real difference. Proud of our Haringey schools!💚♻️

Our Climate Partnership meeting reinforced the fact that individual agency, when networked with others, becomes our most powerful tool. Real change happens when communities don't just have a seat at the table - they help build it.

Our next Haringey Climate Partnership meeting - Wed 9 July, 6.30-8.30pm at Alexandra House, N22! Let's shape our Local Nature Recovery Strategy, single-use plastics & new Borough Vision's Call to Action on greener choices, together. Register: tickettailor.com/events/eventsharingeycouncil/1739271

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons to want more walkable cities.

Inspiring evening & powerful voices on climate justice - from Caterina @c40cities.bsky.social on city leadership, @kuminaidoo.bsky.social on the Fossil Fuel NP Treaty, @metecoban92.bsky.social on London's green revolution. Key message: climate action must centre equity & community power. 🌍

A positive, change-focused chat with Ruth from ⁦ @mumsforlungs.bsky.social and Pollution Officer, Edward, about the critical need to clean the air we breathe. Just one of the great connections at the #GoGreen Eco Health and Wellness Fair Have your say: haringeyairquality.commonplace.is

We can learn so much from older generations who embedded repair and reuse into the fabric of their lives. #GoGreenEcoFestival #CircularEconomy

Grassroots climate action in the heart of our community. So good to join the Go Green Eco Health and Wellness fair. Positivity and action at a local level

This is what the Haringey Deal looks like in action Thanks to Cllr Seema Chandwani & @mikehakata.bsky.social for listening to residents & their solutions & for taking swift & prompt action to improve safety at Bounds Green junction inc. a commitment to a yellow box junction & 20mph limit

Not long to go now until Bounds Green residents safety will be improved with a new yellow box junction and a 20mph speed limit on Bounds Green Road thanks to Cllrs Seema Chandwanu & @mikehakata.bsky.social 🙌🏻

Another day in the St Ann's LTN #StreetsForPeople ♥️

So many kids celebrating in the joy and freedom of cycling! Great for health, great for confidence. We're determined to make the borough safe enough for every child to join in and share the joy!

People I see on e-bikes: - Seniors staying active and living their best life. - Moms, dads and kids actually enjoying the school run. - People getting groceries or running errands - Service workers commuting on an affordable vehicle “E-bikes aren’t cheating. They’re winning.” - @pflax1.bsky.social

Incredible weekend collection! Dozens of bikes donated to transform refugees' lives. When living on just £8.86 per week and unable to work, these bikes are far more than transport—they're freedom from isolation, dignity amid uncertainty, and hope when it's needed most

🚲 Give a bike, change a life! The Bike Project is collecting unwanted bicycles this Saturday. Each donated bike helps a refugee overcome transport poverty and rebuild their life with dignity and independence. Donate your unused bike and support this vital cause!

I was delighted to join deputy mayors @howarddawber.bsky.social @metecoban92.bsky.social @uk100.org, @mikehakata.bsky.social & Lambeth Climate Action partnership to discuss the amazing work of Sustainable Ventures, our flagship green economy project, helping to build a climate resilient borough.

Incredible energy at our Climate Partnership meeting! From grassroots music projects to community-led festivals, we're reinventing climate engagement. Residents and Council working hand-in-hand, proving local collaboration is the key to meaningful climate action

Haringey Cabinet voted unanimously to keep the 3 Haringey LTNs! The journey may be challenging, but the destination is a borough that prioritises the well-being of its residents and the sustainability of our environment.

Sustrans London team were engagement and design partners on these Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in Haringey.

Massive congrats to @mikehakata.bsky.social and team for years of hard work on this. My old stomping ground in Bruce Grove had one of the worst records for people getting hurt while walking and cycling. After the LTN, casualties have reduced by *60 per cent*

Impressive stats from the Haringey LTNs 💚 👏👏 @mikehakata.bsky.social @perayahmet.bsky.social

We don't build a better world for future generations by keeping things as they are

Three #Haringey LTNs set to continue after major fall in traffic 🚲🚶‍♀️ 🛴 ✅ Traffic cut by 50% ✅ 80k fewer vehicles counted per day ✅ Road collisions fall on average 34% Cabinet will consider the reports on 10 December. Find out more: new.haringey.gov.uk/news/2024120...

Louise High has said she's looking to Dijon for lessons as DfT develops its Integrated Transport Strategy. Buses, trams, trains, bikes and walking infrastructure take precedence in Dijon. A smart, connected, sustainable city is a good place to learn best practice for UK cities and towns.

The Ladies cycle club is one of the most inspiring projects I've visited in Haringey. Women who have never cycled before learning to ride. Incredible collaboration between Haringey Council's Wendy, Lucy & Halema and Ferry Lane Primary School's Pelagia & headteacher Lisa. #Empowerment

Safe cycling directly into the centre of the city for people of all ages, enabled by building safe infrastructure

A very welcome move from Louise Haigh to shift to a more outcome focused appraisal of transport schemes. 👏👏 This really will enable and ensure transport investment delivers on what really matters to people and places.

Spent the morning on Myddleton Rd, having honest conversations with local businesses about the LTN. Engagement means being present, having face-to-face conversations, however difficult, whilst also making the case All voices matter - thank you for sharing your experiences and perspectives with me 🏪🤝

Welcome @mayorofldn.bsky.social and great news to share in your first post @bsky.app

A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Together, we’re building a more sustainable, resilient future for London. 🌱 Let’s keep going! 💚 If you're working on climate change in London and want to learn more, drop me a message! 5/5

Proud to have played my small part in supporting London Council's brilliant Climate Programme and the contribution of Haringey's own Carbon team who led on the award winning Low Carbon Development Toolkit. London boroughs working together to reach net zero

A lot is going on in Haringey in the walking & cycling space,with 4km of high quality cycle lanes in design, writing the final reports for our LTN trials, writing our kerbside strategy, massive safer junctions & corridors programme, more school streets coming, removing footway parking and... and..

3,710 people were killed or seriously injured on London's roads in 2023. 80% were walking, cycling or motorcycling. Behind each number is a grieving family, a shattered life, a community in pain. Join us this #roadsafetyweek as we remember them

A v poignant memorial of 59 ghost bikes, one for each cyclist killed on New Zealand roads in the past 5 years. To do this in Great Britain we would need 530 bikes 😢

The #PedestrianPound 3rd edition broadens the evidence base to include the benefits of happier and healthier people, stronger communities and a more resilient environment. New for 2024: 📗 country annexes 📗 12 x case studies + typology 📗 evaluation briefing 🧵 …

Great interview with Isabelle Clement about cycling in London, the importance of new infrastructure and how Wheels for Wellbeing is helping disabled people discover that cycling is possible for them. zagdaily.com/people/its-a...

Young children cycling to school together. A common sight in the Netherlands where, because of safe cycling infrastructure, parents feel at ease at letting them travel independently. Not only does this give children high levels of autonomy, it also gives parents space to do other things.

My children go to a school that’s on the border with two large LTNs. There used to be 2 bike sheds. Now there is two bike sheds and also FOUR scooter racks 🙌🏻🙌🏻 The headteacher and caretaker had a problem to solve and have been scratching their heads, some of you recommended these. Thank you!

I love the idea of prescribing active travel. As someone stuck behind a laptop at work most days, cycling has helped me better manage my mental and physical health. Sadly, I think too many people are looking for quick, unsustainable fixes. Same is true re. environment. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Quality cycling infrastructure is great for drivers! With 1.26m daily cycle trips recorded in London last year, exponential growth means less motor vehicles on the road, means less congestion. Build it and they will come!

Great to see latest edition of Living Streets’ Pedestrian Pound report 🚶🏼‍♀️🪙 We know that people stay longer and spend more when public realm is improved 👍 Good for business, good for people, good for safety!

The idea that prioritising cars somehow provides people with more choice is the biggest misconception in transport. Instead, making it easier to drive sets off three distinct vicious cycles that lock in more car use and *less* choice

💥New data shows fatal collisions in London have fallen FOUR TIMES more than the rest of the UK. We’re working hard to make London’s streets safer with more: 🚲Bike lanes 🚦New crossings & safer junctions 🚗Lower speed limits 🚸School streets #VisionZeroLDN tfl-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/new-dat...

Really enjoyable to speak at the Liveable Neighbouhoods Conference with colleague, Haringey Head of Transport and Travel, Maurice, about working relationships between officers and members, as well as hear similar team dynamics from @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social
