Street trees encourage walking 🌳🚶‍♂️

Trees make our streets more inviting. When you stroll down a tree-lined avenue, it feels different—more sheltered, more stimulating.

This pleasant environment encourages people to get out and walk or cycle. It’s that simple!

…….and yet this isn’t a focus of the UK Government………How bizarre! @RossLydall @willnorman @HSscorecard @WeSupportWFMH @mikehakata @metecoban92 @LouiseKrupski @katherinedunne @RezinaChowdhury @London_Cycling @carltonreid @peterwalker99 @GracieMaeW

He almost beat the cars up the hill. 💪🚲

Very grateful for the safe cycling infrastructure, makes such a difference. 🙌

[APPG for Cycling & Walking @APPGCW]

London’s pioneering “mini Holland” low traffic neighbourhood is “synonymous with the changes that need to happen around the world”, according to Will Norman the capital’s walking and cycling commissioner.

So children are not safe on the road, nor pedestrian crossings, nor the pavement, nor *inside their actual school*. Thankfully no children were inside but this could have been a very different story. #SafeStreetsNow https://t.co/Snti5KUImF

Children are particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of air pollution because their bodies, organs and immune systems are still developing.

We need those elected next Thursday to commit to #SchoolStreets & #SchoolSuperZones! #LE2024 #LondonMayor

We speak to @MomentumMag about the rise of the bike bus and school street:

"The future of cities belongs to their children, and this new movement might just be a vital tipping point where they are finally considered and involved in the planning process."

LOVE to see Sadiq coming out swinging for clean air 💥
He's got nothing to apologise for when it comes to the ULEZ, nothing

"People who used their #WoodBurner on more than 30 days a year had a 68% increased lung #Cancer risk compared with people who did not burn wood"

I thought I was more visible on a penny farthing. But I don't think this driver sees anyone.

NEW | Today marks five years of a car-free Hammersmith Bridge! 🎂

Today we publish a new report which outlines:

🟢What local people really think
🟢What impact it has actually had on traffic
🟢How to create a car-free crossing for good

[Trees for Streets @TreesforStreets]

Too many tree-less streets ⛔️🌳

📢We're calling for a 🌳national street forest 🌳to fill the thousands of miles of empty kerbside

We're told we're short on space, but roads offer the opportunity to plant millions 🌳🌳

Bring the many benefits of 🌳 to where we actually live🧑‍🤝‍🧑🏡

[Leo Murray @[email protected] @crisortunity]

With a bit of political courage and imagination, west London could really make the car-free #HammersmithBridge situation work for us you know ✨

Driving pollutes. It causes people harm & puts children into hospital.

According to Fair Fuel UK, a 5p hike in fuel duty is an “ominous spectre” for the UK’s 37m drivers.

(Population of the UK = 67m. That’s 30m non-drivers).

What about the ominous spectre of your child being rushed to hospital struggling to breathe due to high #AirPollution?

Why is there money to subsidise driving but hardly any for #SchoolStreets, that help kids get to school more safely & healthily?

There’s a cost of living crisis, but why should it be children & #Health that bear the brunt?
