Do you think Camden High Street could be more pleasant?
We're proposing a trial motor traffic-free zone to improve your experience of the High Street and to give more space to people.
Help us shape our plans - fill out our online consultation ➡️ consultations.wearecamden.or…

We continue to be amazed by your generous donations. Here’s just four examples of what the workshop have refurbished this week. Why not take advantage of the longer days by getting on one of our pre loved bikes?

Thursday morning, day 4 session 1.
The quietest start yet, the 2 people that have already offered support are far quieter than the people taking it out.

Police urge against scrapping low traffic neighbourhood, saying it reduces crime;
Met highlights big fall in anti-social behaviour in Tower Hamlets area where council wants to ditch Liveable Streets scheme (consultation ends tomorrow, link in article)

Currently our local police service and county council are missing in action.
So myself and a few other Exonians are stepping in to stop dangerous and illegal drivers from driving down roads they are no longer allowed to use.

Traffic evaporation was brought up at the last HATOC meeting a few weeks ago. It wasn't very well explained, so I thought I'd make a thread explaining it and how it applies to Heavitree & Whipton #ActiveStreets Trial

Powers to ban pavement parking should be extended across England to make streets safer, a new study says.
The Local Government Association (LGA) says councils do not have the powers they need to tackle the "scourge" of pavement parking.

According to the Govt LA’s can deal with pavement parking unilaterally, by using TMO’s.
Can we trial this in Exeter?

@ExeterCAN @ExeterStreets can you help get our zebra crossing repainted in Alphington by the church? It's missing it's stripes but have been told by DCC that it doesn't need repainting yet.

Exciting news this morning. The Courtlands Boardwalk between Lympstone and Exmouth has been refurbished, and is now open again!
We're all looking forward to using it, particularly as the days slowly start to get longer!

Put the Exeter HATOC on 20 May at 1030 at County Hall in your diary if you can. We may need voices, support & presence on the day

Opponents of calmer streets claim they discriminate against older people.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Spend 15 minutes at a supermarket bike rack & have a look at the age profile of people shopping by bike in Exeter. You'll be surprised. Cheap, easy, active.
People 65 to 75 cycle more than any adult group in the Netherlands.
Not because they’re super-human, but because of the traffic-calmed streets and segregated cycle networks. These environments allow them to participate in society far longer into old age.
