TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN
To create streets that are safe and welcoming, we need change at a local and national level.
From supporting nationwide campaigns, to creating change in your own neighbourhood, there are a number of ways you can get involved.
WALK WITH US!
HOW CAN YOU TAKE ACTION?
CAMPAIGN WITH US
Imagine better streets that everyone can use and enjoy. Imagine our roads free from congestion and pollution. Imagine walking was the number one mode of transport for local trips.
Here are our top campaigns to get involved in so you can join us in making our vision for a better walking environment a reality.
SAFER ROUTES TO SCHOOL
Roads around schools at peak times are often dominated by cars. This can make the walk to school feel unsafe.
BAN PAVEMENT PARKING
Vehicles parked on the pavements force people onto the road. Reclaim pavements in your area.
BETTER CROSSINGS
Many crossings leave pedestrians waiting too long to cross. We want to reduce wait time to 30 seconds max.
CUT THE CLUTTER
Street clutter clogs up our pavements and makes it hazardous for people to get around, it's time to cut the clutter.
JOIN US AT THE 2024 WALKING SUMMIT
HOW DO WE DEMONSTRATE THE VALUE AND IMPACT OF WALKING FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOODS?
Our 2024 UK Walking Summit will take place in Sheffield on Thursday 7 March.
The 2024 Summit will ask how we can demonstrate the value of streets designed for people - what impact have investments in walking made so far on health, the environment, and the economy? We will hear from UK leaders, international speakers, transport professionals and those in the South Yorkshire region who are reimagining our streets.
WALKING ADVOCATES
Living Streets’ Walking Advocates are parliamentarians who support our mission to achieve a better walking environment.
Walking Advocates want a society where children can walk to school on safe, unpolluted and enjoyable streets.
They recognise the benefits of walking for our health, climate and local economy, and promote policies that create better environments for people to walk and wheel.
TAKE LOCAL ACTION
Our Local Groups create change one street, community, town and city at a time.
Starting or joining a Local Group is an important way to tackle issues in your community.
Living Streets Local Groups are communities of people who live locally and work together to make long lasting changes to their area.
