Ahead of discussions about active travel later this month, several #Scrutiny cllrs are getting on their bikes today to get 1st hand insight into work that has been delivered to improve cycling infrastructure in #Leeds & to better understand principles of good design.

🏫 New school term, new habits! 👟 Walking or cycling to school boosts health, confidence & cuts congestion. Start small - try a #WalkToSchoolWednesday! Let’s make active travel part of the daily routine - every day.

I find talking about how I feel really hard, especially when everything is not ok. You're not alone.

Thanks to Connecting Leeds for getting out on 2 wheels with #scrutiny cllrs yesterday to provide insight into work to improve cycling infrastructure in #Leeds & to highlight principles of good design. Active travel will be considered by IIIG Scrutiny Board later this month.

Tune in for a triple bill of #leeds #scrutiny next week - 1st up Adults, Health & Active Lifestyles on 9/9/25, then Environment, Housing & Communities and Children & Families on 11/9/25. More info here: democracy.leeds.gov.uk/mgCalendarMont…
