Do you think Camden High Street could be more pleasant?
We're proposing a trial motor traffic-free zone to improve your experience of the High Street and to give more space to people.
Help us shape our plans - fill out our online consultation ➡️ consultations.wearecamden.or…

We continue to be amazed by your generous donations. Here’s just four examples of what the workshop have refurbished this week. Why not take advantage of the longer days by getting on one of our pre loved bikes?

Our #SafeStreetsNow action has made it to the front page of our local paper.
Thursday morning, day 4 session 1.
The quietest start yet, the 2 people that have already offered support are far quieter than the people taking it out.

Further to when we reported the flooded Alphington subway last week, we have today been told by Devon Highways that the pump is back on site this morning so the subway is hopefully usable for people travelling between Alphington and St Thomas #Exeter #ActiveTravel

Cycling and Pedestrian subways flooded and impassable again on the A377 at Alphington Cross and at Exe Bridge. Reported to @DevonCC . Please can we have these cleared/pumped out before schools go back on Monday? #Exeter #ActiveTravel

Apparently the pump isn't there today, maybe our misunderstanding but it seemed it was being arranged today. There is once again no safe pedestrian or cycling route between St Thomas and Alphington

Currently our local police service and county council are missing in action.
So myself and a few other Exonians are stepping in to stop dangerous and illegal drivers from driving down roads they are no longer allowed to use.

Traffic evaporation was brought up at the last HATOC meeting a few weeks ago. It wasn't very well explained, so I thought I'd make a thread explaining it and how it applies to Heavitree & Whipton #ActiveStreets Trial

Powers to ban pavement parking should be extended across England to make streets safer, a new study says.
The Local Government Association (LGA) says councils do not have the powers they need to tackle the "scourge" of pavement parking.

According to the Govt LA’s can deal with pavement parking unilaterally, by using TMO’s.
Can we trial this in Exeter?
