A terraced street with parking removed and rain gardens installed both sides

Esther Road in Waltham Forest was subject to bad flooding in 2021.

Parking out, rain gardens in. Beautiful, urban cooling, mental health boosting, biodiverse, flood mitigating awesomeness.

Sutherland Road improvements are in! The longest rain garden treatment on a residential street in the UK with vehicles moved from the pavement to the roadway and 68 new trees!

Thanks to all those cllr's, campaigners and residents supporting healthier streets.

Higham Hill Road with drivers on the pavement and heavily congested.

Artist impression of Higham Hill Road with reduced traffic, parking, more trees and a nicer environment.

Healthy streets means halved road injuries, reduced crime, and space where families can feel safe, hear each other and aren't constantly in fear of their safety.

It means bus priority. It means people have choice.
