Safer Streets Perth

Low traffic, low speed, pollution-free spaces for people.

@pjmeiklem's still getting back on his bike after this. How many don't? How many are too scared to try? How much has #carculture changed our roads, our air, our fitness, our public transport? How much real choice is there nowadays in how we get about? https://t.co/xZlIMQJdMQ

Rustling leave & winds of change as I complete walking interviews with 99 women in Perth on What if women designed the city? Gratitude to each one & connecting gatekeepers. Now to analysis

@hikesperthshire @SharonCGrant Recommend complaints en masse to cllr Liz Barrett, Audrey Coates (not sure if she resigned after being charged by police?), Willie Wilson & Sheila McCole.

Had a very useful meeting with PKC at Fairies Rd about the junction w Oakbank Rd. Also about their plans to put a pavement where the trees are (keeping the trees) & to get parents to drop of children here.

[Safer Streets Perth @SaferPerth]

@SharonCGrant Interesting. I was told that there was extensive communication with residents, the primary schools & the Academy...

[PKC Tenants @PKCTenants]

If you’re passionate about tackling climate change, you can have a real impact by joining our new Tenant Climate Change Panel. The group will shape local Housing policy on climate change and help other tenants to become more aware and informed about what they can do to help. 1/2

@hermitsholiday Thanks David.

Delightful to spend the morning strolling with a group of women while exploring how diversity can vitalise the experience of ageing cities and walking groups offset social isolation #womenshapingcities

Love the artwork here, but why instruct pedestrians on road safety, not car drivers? On this residential street, cars ignore the 20 mph and often exceed 30 mph. This is back to front for #greentravel @PKPeoplePlace @PerthandKinross @PerthLS @sustperth @SustransScot

[Safer Streets Perth @SaferPerth]

Doctors trying to wake up politicians to the fact that the climate crisis is a public health emergency. What have PKC done in Perth? Denied there's a pollution issue and planned a £120m road. #youcouldntmakeitup

[The Courier @thecourieruk]

There are suggestions that air pollution could be contributing to as many as 473 deaths in Tayside and Fife every year.

[North Inch Muirton Community Council @InchNorth]

Research shows that this sort of design slows traffic down. The speed on our residential streetsis often in excess of 30 mph, never mind 20. Great to see @WDCouncil using imaginative design to promote #activetravel @PKPeoplePlace @PerthLS @PerthandKinross @urbantudesign @Purdoso

[Discombobulated @emmabest2000]

A pedestrianised street with cars on it. @PKCPlanning @PerthLS @sustperth @PKPeoplePlace #unsafe #unfriendly #CarIsKing

[Safer Streets Perth @SaferPerth]

@emmabest2000 @PKCPlanning @sustperth @PKPeoplePlace Many exceptions & concessions are made for drivers in Perth. We will not see a people-centred city here without political will & it has been repeatedly demonstrated that that is currently lacking here & among cllrs from all parties.

[Discombobulated @emmabest2000]

I welcome this opportunity. Only 10 of our 40 P&K councillors are women. Regardless of political affiliation, we need to look at how gender shapes the design of our city, and rebalance some of the decisions. @LoriHughes1987 @Dollydi26969910 @PerthLS @C_ADiouri @PKPeoplePlace
