We recently held a brand-new, one day conference Safe, Attractive, Enjoyable Streets in London on Tuesday 18 November 2008. Sponsored by Capita Symonds Development Transport and Infrastructure, this exciting day provided up to date best practice as well as giving you practical and ethical ideas for improvements that will increase the vibrancy of streets and places in your area.

Training and Open Workshops

Community Street Audit Workshop 2008

Living Streets delivers regional masterclasses and workshops across the UK to provide practical opportunities for learning in smaller groups. Our most recent Community Street Audit Workshop was held in London and our masterclasses during May and June in Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Newcastle.

Bespoke Training
Living Streets are experienced in providing bespoke training in walking and public realm issues to clients. This offers a cost effective solution where groups of staff or members from an organisation or area are involved. These practical training events are an excellent opportunity for staff development and encourage networking and joint working to improve service delivery.

Bespoke training can also be combined with Audits as happened in Wansbeck, Northumberland, where a Community Street Audit was organised in Bedlington with local people and stakeholders, followed by staff training. Wansbeck District Council has since rolled out a Street Pride initiative as a result of the Living Streets Training.
