We attended the Landor LINKS Ltd Cycle City Active City event, hosted by Sheffield City Council, to showcase some of our School Streets schemes. Transportation Consultant, Connor Brown, presented “creating safe environments for Healthy Streets”, a dive into our approach to encourage healthier lifestyles.
Connor discussed how our Healthy Streets measures reduce air pollution and danger on roads, developing active travel schemes that work for the community and the environment.
Implementing Healthy Streets for Newham Council
Connor discussed deeply about our project for Newham Council. We implemented set measures around schools and in the surrounding road networks, which included box junctions and Experimental Traffic Orders.
Our interventions improved air quality around schools, increasing physical activity and road safety.
