We are parents just like you, frustrated with how unsafe and stressful the school run can be. School Streets are amazing - when they work. And when they don't, there are reasons... 🫵 What are your experiences of School Streets? #schoolstreets #londonparents #WalkingandWheelingActionPlan

Throwback to when co-founder Nicola was on BBC London talking about potential #SUV charges in London as part of his the #Mayor's #visionzero plan. Road safety for walking or cycling children is a major factor. Nicola explains exactly why. #streetsforkids #suvdanger 👉 x.com/MayorofLondo...

Oh to be able to let them muck about on the street outside your house with intermittent supervision... 🥲 What used to be normal is now impossible. 🛻 Cities are designed for cars, not for kids playing erratically by a road. 📱Feels safer to know where they are, even if that's glued to a screen.

How will your child get to school next term? Not by car, advises TV's Dr Xander Van Tulleken. Biking or walking, he says: "You arrive at school less stressed, more relaxed, you've been able to socialise with friends and have a sense of empowerment and freedom you do not get in a car." Link 👇️

Kids should be out exploring, cycling to the park, and enjoying the longer days during the #summerholidays. And we should feel they are safe doing so. 🚸Instead, as our streets fill with larger vehicles, that sense of safety is being eroded. 👉 Follow us to learn the issues around #carspreading
