Our vision is that walking is safe, easy and the natural choice for everyone, everywhere.  

Our mission is to create streets, communities and places where people want to walk and wheel.

Walking is the Answer: Living Streets Strategy 2026-2029

For almost 100 years, Living Streets has championed the simple but transformative right to walk and wheel. The challenges facing our streets are significant, but so too is the opportunity.

As we approach our centenary, we are inspired not only by what has been achieved, but by what remains possible. 

Our three-year strategy takes us up to our centenary in 2029 and has five STEPS to long-term change that we want to achieve:

  • Safer streets
  • Thriving communities
  • Everyday walking
  • Public support
  • Sustainable future 

Here's a snapshot of the impact some of our work has had in schools, communities and the environment:
