We loved supporting Wakefield Council with #BeatTheStreet! Beat the Street turns your neighbourhood into a game, with players scoring points by travelling on foot between sensors. Over 2,800 people and 9 schools got involved, and Strider loved our family Zumba 💃 Beat the Street HQ

It is 39°C in Lisbon today. The same in Madrid. In Paris next week it will also be 39°C. Look at this picture. People are under trees, where it can be up to 12°C cooler. Given trees take decades to mature and many don’t survive, cities need to plant many more. And urgently.

Great to see the report I wrote for Bikeability and Living Streets having an impact on national policy Our polling found that 81% of people agree there is too much motor traffic around schools - a national consensus!

Connecting homes and schools with safe and accessible walking and wheeling routes will save lives, reduce pollution and encourage healthy habits. We hope the new network will help more families enjoy the benefits of an active journey to school. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Last week pupils from St. Oswald's Primary joined us on stage at Active City to tell us why walking, wheeling and cycling is important to them, and what the grown-ups need to do to make it easier. Then they helped us design a school street, live! Hear more from the pupils ⤵️
