Living Streets UK: What is Living Streets?
The Living Streets initiative is a clear and urgent challenge to the authorities who, for decades, have allowed traffic priorities to overwhelm local streets and public places, and failed to keep them clean and safe. It is also a challenge to you - the person who wants to use your local streets freely and without fear, who wants to win back the public spaces from litter and vandalism and to reach local services with ease, not as someone whose family must always come second to cars and trucks.
