Very distressing to read of these two incidents in our borough within the space of a week.

Our thoughts with families, friends, and all those involved.

A wonderful short essay from @BBCr4today. If you walk your child to school, or if you walked to school as a child yourself, then this is for you!

You may have missed the item at 8.20am because you were walking to school @CCJacademy @CFPSchool @cheamparkfarm @Harris_JAC! ^CM

"For ten precious minutes they are mine"

On #R4Today, we're inviting some famous faces to describe their favourite winter walk.

This morning actor Rory Kinnear lovingly tells of the daily walk to school with his children.

Robert Molteno sadly passed away earlier this year, but his work leading Wandsworth Living Streets will have a lasting impact, creating safer streets for pedestrians. His daughter, May has just collected a posthumous Civic Award for Robert. #CelebratingourHeroes #CivicAwards

We agree with @LivingStreets: we must not step back on #ActiveTravel! Walking = cheapest, healthiest, greenest option for local journeys. Write to your MP & make sure @Jeremy_Hunt & @transportgovuk hear why this matters to YOU. https://t.co/gkCBgdfkGa

A report to be presented to next week's E&ST committee reviews the first six months of the borough's School Streets programme.

Summary headline findings: traffic down by 50%; more children scooting and walking; more cycling through the area; air quality improved.

*Fantastic!*

Our National #WalkingSummit is now a flagship event in the #ActiveTravel calendar.

And what better day than #WorldCarFreeDay to announce that 2023's Summit will focus on creating public space that encourages walking & wheeling?

We join the nation in mourning the loss of Her Majesty the Queen and pay tribute to her life and service.

Our thoughts are with her family and all those affected by the news.

We are proud to have won the #HighwayCode improvements that make #WalkingNumber1 🚶☝️

We also know that updating the Code was just the beginning. Today's @theaa_uk survey results just remind us to keep the momentum.

Help us whittle the 61% down by sharing these posts 🧵

🚶London needs cleaner air to make walking & wheeling a safer and more attractive option.

That’s why we back new proposals to expand the Ultra Low Emission Zone.

🧑‍🦽If we want people to walk & wheel more of their local journeys, we need pavements to be clear and safe. No ifs, no buts. 🚶

🥳 It's the start of #NationalWalkingMonth!

📊 Our research has found that a fifth of us never walk for leisure or exercise. And nearly half of us feel guilty for walking less now that lockdown is over.

Really important campaign for the local elections just launched by @London_Cycling outlining the transport policies that are needed at a borough level to achieve London's 2030 target of zero carbon.

[Living Streets @livingstreets]

We're officially launching 'Walking for Everyone' at our National #WalkingSummit today.

The report, produced with @ArupUK & @Sustrans, provides guidance to help make the walking and wheeling environment more accessible and attractive for everyone.

Year 2 children enjoyed Car Free Zone day activities as part of our Walk to School week👣 Thank you to our ECO Warriors for patrolling the streets this morning. You did a fantastic job! @LEOacademies

[SuttonLivingStreets @suttonls]

Fabulous to see political endorsement for #schoolstreets in our borough, and to read that many respondents to the conversation like the idea too. Hopefully, those unsure will see the benefits these schemes bring to families walking to school and to the community around the school

[Sutton Lib Dems @SuttonLibDems]

"We are committed to making the streets outside our schools safer & healthier for our children & I am thrilled the majority...who took part in our recent consultation agreed." - LibDem @Cllr_m_abellan @SuttonCouncil
