We need a network of safe and direct walking, wheeling and cycling routes to make Brighton, Hove & Portslade a great city that works for everyone. That's our goal - join us on the journey.

If you don't have a profile and at least one post of your own (not a repost) we're sorry but we won't follow back.
So feel free to unfollow us until those are in place then follow again to prompt us to check it out. 😃

We fully support your desire for pavements free of wheelie bin obstructions. Unfortunately @brighton-hove.gov.uk has never enforced the Highways Act 1980 so thousands of bins block pavements 24/7.

What do we want?
To walk ten metres without bumping into a Lime Bike, stray wheelie bin, or cafe A-board in the middle of the pavement.
When do we want it?
Whenever you’ve got a sec to pop out and move them.

It’s crazy that children walking and cycling to school need protecting from adult drivers but it’s the sad reality so it’s good that our Council plans proper enforcement of School Streets.

For Annette, 39, cycling brings freedom, fitness and a voice for change. Through #MyRideOurRight, she’s highlighting how small changes can make a big difference.

Breaking news! @sportengland.bsky.social's #ActiveLivesSurvey shows that walking for leisure has increased by 6.8%. That's over 3 million adults in England who are walking more! But there’s clearly a need for safer, more pleasant streets, as fewer people are walking for travel. 🚶♂️🚶♀️

When pavements are blocked, pedestrians are forced into the road, which isn't safe.
Living Streets Groups campaign for clear pathways and better places for walking. Could you help them with a gift today? Until 29 April every donation is match-funded! livingstreets.org.uk/greenmatchfund

So the first real policy decision on active travel or road safety by this government is a law targeting cyclists which will do nothing for road safety, briefed to a newspaper which openly hates cycling. Whatever your hopes for active travel from current ministers, perhaps calibrate these downwards.

What’s good for London can ve even better for Little London by the Sea - when people get more support to travel by foot, bicycle and public transport.
📢A new study from @uniofbath.bsky.social shows London's low emissions zones have had major benefits for human health and the economy, with a 10.2% decrease in respiratory issues following LEZ implementation, an **18.5%** reduction in sick leave, and annual public health savings of over £37 million.

Make the South Downs better for active travel.
Complete the national park’s consultation. Tell them everything that will make it better for 🚶♀️🦽 & 🚴🏽♀️ .
For example, easier ways to get to the Downs without using a car.

Fundamentally the issue is clear: if I leave my home and choose the most polluting and antisocial form of transport my local authority makes this easy; if I try to be responsible, pro-social and healthy, my local authority makes this hard
