🚶♀️🚲 London’s low-traffic neighbourhoods are saving lives. Full stop.
New data shows a more than 33% drop in deaths and serious injuries on roads with low-traffic zones. That’s real impact—fewer deaths, safer streets, and healthier communities.

What a great evening in London! Campaigning for active travel and clean air can feel tough at times, but hearing an inspiring panel of women share the impact of their work was a real boost. Feeling re-energised! 💚🚲✨
“Inclusive urbanism isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s the only way of achieving lasting transformation.”
What a fabulous event tonight in London! Thanks to the full house that packed the British Library's George Elliot Room who were fully engaged in a dynamic conversation.
Next stop Shanghai!

Great to see the 2025 budget keep the Cycle to Work scheme in place!
It matters: every £1 invested in cycling and walking brings nearly £6 in benefits: better public health, stronger local high streets, and more vibrant communities.
Let’s keep backing active travel. 💚🚲

A surprising number of school run car journeys start from homes less than 1km away.
That’s a walkable distance for many — but instead, we get more traffic, more pollution, and fewer chances for kids to move.
What if we reimagined the school run as time for fresh air and connection, not congestion?
