For voters: Ask your council candidates to take the Streets for People Pledge

28 March 2018

With just over a month until London’s crucial Local Elections, now is the time for you to get your local council leadership candidate to back our Sustrans Streets for People Pledge.

If you are a candidate please see this page.

We are asking London’s prospective council leaders to pledge to:

Create three neighbourhoods free of through-traffic. Create at least two schemes that connect the places people need to go to with protected space for cycling on busy roads. Ensure redesigned streets are easy and safe for people on foot to cross and are truly accessible to all Create places people want to be, by enhancing and increasing public and pavement space and introducing seating, shade and shelter.

London Borough Councils together control 95% of the capital’s streets and have the funding available from the Mayor of London to change them.

With four years in office, a council leader can make a huge difference to the streets Londoners live, work and travel on. With a commitment at this election, we can make this happen.

Will you join our London supporters and help us get prospective councils leaders to take the Sustrans Streets for People Pledge?

Here is what you can do to help.
