Living Streets (in the UK)
“The Mayor of London has announced that London boroughs can now introduce borough wide 20mph (32kph) limits, without costly enforcement measures. Portsmouth is moving to a city-wide 20mph limit, and Hull’s widespread 20mph areas are getting dramatic results.”

“Walking Works is an exciting new campaign designed by Living Streets to inspire you to walk more as part of your daily commute. Walking … is a free and highly effective way of getting around our congested cities. And . . . . it can be fun! No two days will be the same.”

“Local shops and services are vital to the creation of more walkable neighbourhoods. Without access to shops and services within walking distance, people are more likely to drive to out of town shopping centres.”
