Current pollution levels from our Breathe London Community Programme node at Linden Children Centre: NO2 & PM2.5 are each 4 and 7 times above the WH0 legal limits. Our community is being poisoned by the fumes of the A10. We need trees, not more cars.🌳 #Airpollution Mete Coban MBE Sarah J Young🌿

Hackney claim their design is better for pedestrians. In reality the Council's design removes a pedestrian crossing on Amhurst Rd. The VisionZero design retains it. Removing a crossing on a 3-laned busy road is less safe & lower utility for pedestrians. Keep the pedestrian Xing!

The #PedestrianPound 3rd edition broadens the evidence base to include the benefits of happier and healthier people, stronger communities and a more resilient environment. New for 2024: 📗 country annexes 📗 12 x case studies + typology 📗 evaluation briefing 🧵 …

Great to be on BBC London talking about why we need safer streets!

Terrible and tragic to hear of female pedestrian killed on Mare Street today 3 March by a lorry. All thoughts are with victim's family and friends.

Devastating to hear (TfL Stats 19 data) that the 60 yr old pedestrian hit by car driver on New North Road has died. The second pedestrian death in Hackney this year. uk.news.yahoo.com/pedestrian-60-…. .

This is the THIRD pedestrian death in Hackney in 2025. The second caused by an HGV on a main road. We need to have safer lorries and main roads that allow pedestrians to cross safely. These were not people running carelessly across the road. hackneygazette.co.uk/news/25171095.…
