Fantastic to show @livingstreets.bsky.social around the Royal Docks Corridor today!
The improvements are already making a difference — safer crossings, greener streets, and better spaces for people.
It’s exciting to see how the corridor is becoming a welcoming, people-first route. 🌳🚶♀️🚲

Delighted to have attended Newham Council’s Royal Docks Corridor celebration.
The event was a great example of how infrastructure projects can bring communities together—full of interactive activities, energy, and even some digger-tastic fun! 🚜
