A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵

This May, challenge yourself to complete 5k a Day—your way. Whether you walk, run, cycle, wheel, or ride, every kilometre you cover will help support families affected by road crashes. www.brake.org.uk/5k-a-day-in-may

What do children need to walk and wheel safely in their neighbourhoods? Footpaths Safe places to cross Cycle paths Slow traffic Take part in Brake's Kids Walk on 11 June and join thousands of school children marching for their right to safe spaces brake.org.uk/kidswalk

🚦Great to meet Luca from @Brakecharity.bsky.social to discuss the Road Victims’ Charter. The campaign aligns closely with my work on the Harry Parker Bill, and I fully support its call for fairness, consistency, and justice for those affected by road harm.

"Even with the caveats about limited data and untangling causation and correlation, the statistics are striking: the first year in Wales where the speed limit on urban roads was lowered to 20mph resulted in 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Every day 9 young children are killed or injured on UK roads. Today 1.5k schools/nurseries are taking part in Beep Beep! Day with 90k+ kids www.brake.org.uk/how-we-help/raising-awareness/our-current-projects/news-and-blogs/every-day-nine-young-children-are-killed-or-injured-on-roads-in-britain-2025

#BlueMonday might be a myth, but poor #MentalHealth is something many of us struggle with. There’s no easy fix but studies show that walking and wheeling can help. Be kind to yourself today (and always). ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
