Five people stand side by side in front of a stage at the Living Streets National Walking Summit, smiling at the camera. From left to right: Zak Viney (Living Streets), Alistair Robinson (Transport for West Midlands), me (Kirsten) wearing a “Mums for Lungs” t-shirt, Adam Tranter (Living Streets Trustee), and Tom Perkins (Better Streets for Birmingham). Behind them is a presentation screen and summit signage, and the venue features ornate gold detailing and wooden flooring.

Delighted to be at the #LivingStreets #WalkingSummit on behalf of @mumsforlungs.bsky.social this week.
As new guidance lands on safer streets for women and girls, it's clear: walking and wheeling cut air pollution - but only if streets feel safe for everyone.
Clean air starts with better streets 💚

We were delighted to attend the @livingstreets.bsky.social #WalkingSummit.

Walking & wheeling cut #AirPollution, but we need our streets to feel safe enough for everyone to be able to make the most of those options. Good to see new guidance landing on safer streets for women & girls yesterday.

We’re here today at the Living Streets UK Walking Summit in Liverpool and the energy across the event is clear. It’s been very well attended, with a great mix of local authorities, policymakers and industry partners all focused on improving how people move through our streets. There’s also a lot of conversation around the venue itself, which is drawing plenty of attention for how stunning it is and how well it supports the event. If you’re here, come and say hello.

"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."

The guidance from ATE is welcome in designing a blueprint for streets of the future for all #walkingsummit @livingstreets.bsky.social
