🌬️ We’re working with Sustrans Cornwall and schools in Launceston as part of our Launceston Clean Air Project.
Ashlea from Sustrans visited Windmill Hill Academy to lead some workshops on sustainability and challenged pupils to walk, cycle or scoot to school once a week. 🚶♀️🚲

All children need a safe route to school.
Our #SchoolStreets projects are helping to make this a reality for more pupils by limiting traffic outside schools at pick-up and drop-off times, tackling poor air quality and improving road safety.

🏫 Pupils, parents and staff at @StMarysFalmouth have praised an initiative that's helping to keep children safe as they travel to school.
The School Street project sees the road outside school closed to the majority of traffic at drop off and pick up times.

A lack of adequate infrastructure, including secure bike storage, is a major barrier to more people cycling everyday trips, as @SallyCopley explains. Local authorities across the UK must invest more in secure cycle storage, particularly in low-income areas and apartment blocks 👇

Are you finding safe bike storage somewhat tricky? 🤔 Our @KevDuala has been searching for solutions! 🚲

Our pavements should be accessible for everyone. #DisabledCitizensInquiry participants felt there was an urgent need to stop pavement parking and manage pavement clutter. Mark explains more about why inaccessible pavements are so dangerous 👇

1 in 4 of us experiences a mental health problem each year, according to @MindCharity. Making time to talk about it can help. Why not catch up with a friend for a walk or cycle this #TimeToTalk day?

Car traffic is bad for our health, our planet, and our communities. While electric vehicles have a role to play in reducing transport emissions, they don't solve current issues of congestion and road safety. Our roads don't just need cleaner cars, they need fewer cars 📉
