On 14 November, Living Streets launched the Pedestrian Pound report, which shows the links between walkable places and thriving businesses.
With Christmas around the corner, local brick-and-mortar businesses are feeling the pinch. The pandemic and cost of living crisis have driven online sales and reduced the average number of shopping trips taken on our high streets.
Share the Pedestrian Pound with your councillor today using our editable email template – telling them that pedestrians = pounds, and that investing in walking can be a magic bullet for climate, public health and your local economy.
Our new report finds that investing in walkable communities can help the high street bounce back and make local economies thrive. Read the summary or read the report in its entirety here
