Thanks to all the 'Glow Riders' and walkers that enjoyed the new section of the Comber Greenway last night. Part of the Shaping the Greenway series of activities with Ards and North Down Borough Council the event highlighted the importance of being safe as the darker nights roll in.

Just because the music has stopped, doesn't mean we should stop calling for pedestrianisation which was the key enabler to the success of the Fleadh in Belfast this month. #walking #liveablecities #economy www.walkwheelcycletrust.org.uk/our-blog/opi...

Prioritising people is good for our economy and life of town centres
The Fleadh Cheoil - the Irish traditional music festival - exceeded all expectations, attracting 1.6 million visitors to Belfast at start of August.

🧵 1/2 Pupils did nearly 2.5 million active journeys to school in the Big Walk and Wheel 2026. N. Ireland schools did brilliantly, but while Westminster has set a target of 60% of children travelling actively to school by 2035, we have no targets www.walkwheelcycletrust.org.uk/our-blog/new...
walkwheelcycletrust.org.uk
UK children walk, wheel, cycle nearly 2.5 million school runs
Over 780,000 children walked, wheeled, scooted and cycled to school actively during the Big Walk and Wheel. It shows what’s possible after government set active travel target for schools.

If only we could take 3 countries with the same cars, laws, etc, change most 30mph speed limits to 20mph in one of them and measure the results. Wales did that and now a Senedd Research report has shown how casualties dropped, -23.8% compared to England -5.2% and Scotland +3.1%. #20splenty

What impact has 20mph had on road safety in Wales?
The introduction of a default 20mph speed limit on restricted roads in Wales in September 2023 generated significant public debate. The policy increased the share of roads with a 20mph limit from 2% to 37% as of September 2023.
