Cities and towns should be places where everyone can thrive without needing a car. The #20MinuteNeighbourhood concept aims to make this a reality, by creating places where people can meet most of their everyday needs by a convenient 20-minute return walk👇 sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/get…

3 in 5 children think the environment around their school has too many cars. As #CycleToSchoolWeek approaches, we’re calling for the government to take action and invest in protected cycle lanes on main roads to schools, so that families feel welcome & safe cycling the school run

Great news for the canals of #EastBirmingham.
We’ve started the process of setting a national standard for the water points, refuse sites and other boater facilities that we provide across the waterways network. We want your views too. Phase one of the consultation will take place between late September and November 2022.
