Pavement parking ban - England next?
An amazing 7,455 people added their voices to our response to the UK Government's consultation on pavement parking in England.

Scotland has already banned it. This is our chance to do the same in England.
Help us win. Join our campaign to protect pavements for people.

covid-19 - our offices remain closed
The health and wellbeing of our staff and stakeholders remains our priority as coronavirus continues to affect our lives. Our offices therefore remain temporarily closed to visitors and the majority of our staff.
We continue to work hard to raise the profile of walking, supporting staff to work remotely, and working with all our partners to ensure our project work is effective from a distance.
We continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation and follow government and health guidelines within England, Scotland and Wales as they develop. In the meantime, should you wish to contact our region-specific offices, please use the following:
Join our campaigns to improve the walking environment
A generation ago, 70% of us walked to school – now it’s less than half.
We want to reverse this decline. We want children to be energised and empowered, and to make walking to school their natural choice.
And we know just how to do it.
