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.

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.

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.
