Let's put children's safety first this October

October is International Walk to School Month, when pupils around the globe celebrate the joys of walking and wheeling to school.

When we asked school pupils about what stops them walking to school, one in five said, “too many cars outside school gates”.

Your local council has the power to do something about this. Living Streets has identified a range of tools at councils' disposal.

School road closures, Controlled parking zones, and 20mph speed limits are all measures that can transform streets outside schools.

Our online letter writing tool allows your to contact your local councillors and tailor the letter to your local school’s needs.

And when we make local streets safer for children, we take huge steps towards making all our streets fitter for walking for everyone.
