….’That’s what continuity is. Not a policy word. Not a contractual metric. Not a slide on a presentation about neighbourhood health. It’s the thing that lets you see the whole cloth when everyone else is looking at individual threads.’

Primary school in background road with school streets and planter of daffodils in foreground the sun is shining and there is a distant view across sheffield
A local walk today took me past my kids old primary school- well done Westways Primary, a joyful school street!
Empty with school hols, in term time still calm as kids safely into class. All kids should get this start to the day

“when public health works, it’s invisible. We don’t see the outbreaks that haven’t happened.”
Following publication of new guidance from @ategov.bsky.social this week, our @tansbraun.bsky.social joined the Guardian on a walk to talk about the importance of involving women and girls in street design.

Lilian Greenwood is stood on stage presenting to an off camera crowd.
"Streets and public spaces that work for women and girls work for everyone. That’s the principle we need to embed into every scheme, every strategy and plan, and every investment decision."
@liliangreenwood.bsky.social takes to the UK #WalkingSummit stage
Graphic titled "It's not as simple as "mobility aid users weight more so they need to go slower for safety" has, with drawings of each example, top row, average 11 year old using manual chair with power attachment: 59kg. Average man: 85kg. Average woman with laden cargo cycle: 243kg. Average woman: 72kg. Small woman using lightweight class 3 scooter: 72kg. Large man with double buggy: 165kg. Small woman using standing wheelchair: 231kg.
More and more lightweight, highly functional mobility aids are being made. Is a small person using a power attachment really more dangerous to pedestrians than a big person running?

Just catching up- wonderful conversation with @sutchfun.bsky.social & Clare Balding on #ramblings the joy of walking shines through.
The Go Jauntly app does a great job, supporting people to get the benefits of walking well worth a listen!
