Our #PedestrianPound report launches in Edinburgh today. The report makes the economic case for walkable streets. It shows that people who walk/wheel to do their shopping spend more and that pedestrianised high streets see bigger sales. This 3rd edition broadens the evidence base to include the benefits of happier and healthier people, stronger communities and a more resilient environment. Thank you to Transport for Quality of Life for undertaking this project; our lead funder, Paths for All; and to the Rees Jeffreys Road Fund, Foundation for Integrated Transport and the Welsh Government for their contributions.

Today we’re asking for your help. Living Streets was able to ride the storm of the pandemic and cost of living crisis due to our reserves, but the future of our campaigns is now at risk. Our wonderful supporters have helped us achieve incredible things that benefit people every day: slower speeds on our roads, more children walking to school, better crossing times. With a government talking about prioritising active travel and a ban on pavement parking, the time to deliver is now. But we need your help to keep up the pressure. Please donate today. Thank you! https://lnkd.in/eHz7Ga7h
