Fantastic to see #SchoolStreets progress in Greater Manchester in the 2025 #ActiveTravel Annual Report.
Our 2024 election campaign, with local GM groups, led to @andyburnham.bsky.social pledging to deliver 100 School Streets by 2028.
And now?
33 in place, with plans for 80 by 2027 & 100 by 2028!

There are only 5 School Streets in #Dorset at the moment, none of which are camera-enforced.
It's good to see the council considering the use of traffic enforcement cameras, as this would enable better enforcement of #SchoolStreets - and hopefully more schemes being planned. 🙏
Wishing you had a calmer, safer school run, with less traffic and #AirPollution at the school gates?
Join us on Tuesday 28th April at 8:15pm to hear all about #SchoolStreets. You'll leave inspired to get the ball rolling with one at your school!

for which there is little evidence (in the UK) and could be potentially harmful - they actually did something about the very obvious danger of motor traffic in and around school sites. 😠

#SchoolStreets
In the run-up to the last local elections, we campaigned across London and Greater Manchester for more #SchoolStreets to be implemented.
We're so pleased to see Ealing Council deliver on its promise to roll out 50 School Streets by 2027 - a whole year early. 💥 🎉

At Active Wales 2026 today in Cardiff? Come and see how mapping can turn policy into something people actually use. We’re at the Pindar Creative stand showcasing practical tools for active travel, including our Make Your Own Map Portal built to support 5 minute walk zones, school streets and local engagement. If you are working on behaviour change, wayfinding or place based communication, we would love to show you what is possible. Pop over for a chat today.

Bristow again.
Progress on #SchoolStreets in Cambs has slowed because Integrated Travel funding that used to come directly to the council is now going to the Mayor, who is less supportive of active travel. That money is now expected to cover buses, elec vehicle infrastructure AND road maintenance.
Black Cadillac sedan parked blocking most of the east-west crosswalk along W 35th Ave at Perry st in Northwest Denver. White, plastic bollards are visible around the crosswalk, trying to clue drivers into the fact that this isn’t a parking space.

This is good news - there are only three #SchoolStreets in #Harrow at the moment. We hope to see more being implemented with this funding. #AirPollution #ActiveTravel

Image shows a man and a child walking down a road, smiling and waving at the camera. There is a green Mums for Lungs logo bottom left and a pink blob at the top, with white text overlaid that says "It's so much more relaxed and calm, and feels like a much better way to start the day!".
One big question: how to address the uneven rollout across boroughs?
#Bexley still has no #SchoolStreets. #Bromley & #Harrow have just three each, yet other boroughs have more than 50!
How do we ensure as many children as possible are protected on their way to & from school? #AirPollution #Health

We're especially pleased to see a commitment to 200 more #SchoolStreets by 2030, including at secondary schools. However, with 200 schemes already delivered between 2023 and 2025, this new target feels less ambitious than it could be.

And listen to the masters of building #schoolstreets! Let's go check out Paris!!
