The Croydon local group of the charity for everyday walking, campaigning for safer, healthier streets for all.

Please take a look at this video from @londonin360 which shows our brilliant volunteers working to clean the South Norwood Stream. It's part of the Waterlink Way and runs through a nature reserve.

[London In 360 @londonin360]

Earlier this week I spoke to @AmyF0ster from @CroydonLiving about how the stream in South Norwood Country Park #NatureReserve has become polluted with raw sewage.

Here's a Croydon Living Streets session for young people- free this September alongside the festival of invention https://t.co/ZPuzwC2rBP

I agree with @LivingStreets: we must stop cuts to #ActiveTravel funding in England! Walking = cheapest, healthiest, greenest option for local journeys. Write to your MP & make sure @transportgovuk hear why this matters to YOU. https://t.co/HXinUjoHf6

🧮The numbers add up. If we want to get more people walking, we need #BetterCrossings.

🛠️Use our simple tool to ask your council to fix a local crossing: https://t.co/j0neOpFGAa

We also know that more than a quarter of people say they would walk on their local streets if there were more and #BetterCrossings. 🚶🧑‍🦽

Why is Living Streets calling for a maximum 30 seconds wait for the green signal? #BetterCrossings

Research has shown that this is about the longest pedestrians wait before they take risks.

When you’re out waking 🚶‍♂️look up 👀every now and then, you’ll be in for a treat🤩

There are some truly magnificent street trees 🌳hiding in plain site. In winter ❄️they show their naked beauty

We’re programmed to appreciate their fractal appearance

NEW | It’s official. LTNs work.

We just published the biggest ever study on low traffic neighbourhoods and the results are clear.

LTNs significantly reduce traffic. It’s that simple. 🧵

Working with @CroydonLiving @WeLoveSE25 @womcollective on a fabulous new mural for #SouthNorwoodRec was one of my highlights on 2022 also.

Thank you @Croydonist for this joyful list celebrating all that's great about Croydon ❤

T = (public) toilets

Our @CroydonLiving Local Group asked teenage girls and non-binary young people what could improve their streets. Well-maintained public toilets made their Top 3. 🚽

[Transport Action Network @TransportActio2]

Join us in calling for sustainable transport to be prioritised. It's time we all are given proper alternatives to driving, and for those who rely on public transport to not be treated like second class citizens.

[Croydon Cycling Campaign @CroydonCyclists]

Croydon council should follow Wandsworth's lead and start fining drivers who break the 20mph limit. That will improve the safety of all road users, cut toxic and greenhouse gas emissions, increase cycling and walking and help close the budget deficit.

@angus_f_h @ClocktowerSN Brilliant idea!

[CPRE London @CPRELondon]

The street was almost hazy with exhaust fumes this morning as we passed @WestThorntonSch
Behind the fence on the right were hundreds of children out enjoying their break time.

[Your Croydon @yourcroydon]

We want to hear your views on proposals for new Healthy School Street schemes that could mean pupils at 18 #Croydon schools could make safer journeys during busy pick-up and drop-off hours. Read more here:
