A brilliant #SchoolStreets thread from our very own @BikeItJenny - one of our School Streets superstars. She reflects on how far we've come in the 2 years since we trialed the scheme outside 40 schools across the UK 👇👇@sustrans #SchoolRun #CleanAir #AirPollution #ActiveTravel

Urgggggh. Sometimes news washes over me, bored by it all, complacent. And sometimes it stops me in my tracks. I am complicit in this and the shame is overwhelming. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Great to be out with Clifton Green Primary School children today, testing their new street designs during a day-long trial., Children told us they wanted slower traffic & a more attractive environment, Part of our work with City of York Council @iTravelYork to make school streets safer & healthier

Recently Y5 have enjoyed working with Sustrans on a project to make our roads safer and manage traffic around the school. They have been designing their own streets for the "People Streets Project". Today was the first trial! Sustrans North City of York Council @iTravelYork

Love it, hate it... everyone wanted to tell us what they thought of the street design trialled today outside Clifton Green Primary School in York. So much passion from this community and so many fab ideas. Collaborative design in action! Sustrans North

Much as I loved stewarding in the 🌞 and some great chats with folk coming past, I was a wee bit jealous of the boombox action and everyone dancing and playing further down the street! 🤸🎶🎉👣

I’ve been cycling this route between Chorlton/Whalley Range & central Manchester for 40yrs. On the back of my parent’s bike, my mum’s tandem, as a teenager, with my kids, with a tag-a-long, trailer, panniers…for leisure, work & care. Until now it felt like an act of bravery 🌱

Why children can’t use standard British roads without risk of getting hurt. And what we actually mean when we say “vulnerable”. Great piece from ⁦⁦Taussig⁩ transportxtra.com/publications/l…

I was lucky enough to get a place on some ‘leadership training’ at work. Learnt SO much about myself and how to work better with other people to make things happen. This is a fab opportunity coming up in Chorlton - last few places left 👇

What a brilliant afternoon on this street near me in Chorlton. Local councillor Eve Holt brought me to tears. Learnt loads from Carbon Coop and keen to sign up to Karshare. Came home inspired by the power of community 🤗🌱

It's been 15 months since #OurStreets🏃‍♀️🚲 was launched in #Chorlton, led by local people. To celebrate everything we have done as a community, we're getting together to share our highlights, showcase a film or two and grab a bite to eat (on us!) from Tibetan Kitchen (1/2),
