Things we're told Councils can't just close:

Roads where are safety concerns

Things we're told Councils can close:

Public toilets
Public libraries
Day Centres
Footpaths
Cycle lanes

It's all choice. We don't have to accept this

Walking to school was normal when I was at school.
The benefits to children's health, well-being, independence + community connections are immense.
Delighted that the regional mayors have signed up to this active travel plan for schools

Nobody wants lots of people driving on their street and
Nobody wants people speeding on their street.

Yet we continue to prioritize the quick movement of cars.

During #NationalWalkingMonth, Living Streets staff walked the rainbow by getting out for a daily walk, wheel, cycle or jog and collecting photos of every colour of the rainbow 🌈

Why not try your own colour spotting walk this weekend? 📘🌺🐤

Celebrating May Day at the Shipley Triangle!
So lovely to see a real life Maypole - let's bring back the tradition and here's to many more and across Shipley too!
Hope you've all enjoyed your long weekend 😊
While May Day has pagan roots, it's also a workers' holiday of course ...

Walking to school is already a common practice in many European cities. BUT, numbers could be higher if routes to school were safer for children.

Join our #StreetsForKids action days this May (or organise your own!) and let's reclaim our streets for kids! 🤸

🌳 Living in a green city is a gift 🌳

🌡️ Cooler summers 🌬️ Cleaner air 👶 Healthier kids 💧 Less flooding

It's Beep Beep Day a road safety campaign by Brake to increase young children's awareness of road dangers and how to keep themselves safe.
🚨 But I think we need a shift from putting the responsibility onto young people and pedestrians and start making our streets safer.

🚶🏽‍♀️If you want to save our high streets, walking + wheeling is the way to do it.
🛍 Pedestrianised or more walkable streets lead to more money spent in local shops.
✅️ Benefits also include "happier and healthier people, stronger communities and a more resilient environment"
@livingstreets.bsky.social
Better pedestrian spaces are good for business.
@livingstreets.bsky.social research #PedestrianPound shows turnover increases of 20-30% in many cases where walking, cycling and urban realm have been improved.
+ Health and community benefits too.

Pedestrian Pound
The Pedestrian Pound makes the economic case for investing in better streets for walking and wheeling.

Currently looking out of my window in the north of England at beautiful blue, cloudless skies, wondering if it's time to ditch the winter coat ...
Then remembering my mother's annual warning: It can still snow in March.

As cars get bigger, so do the risks.

People, (and children especially) hit by larger cars when walking or cycling are far less likely to survive.
