The school run is changing.

New figures from Transport for London show that more children across the capital are walking, wheeling and cycling to school, while school-run car journeys have fallen significantly over the past decade.

And Bikeability is playing its part: almost 196,700 children received cycle training through TfL’s Bikeability programme between 2021/22 and 2025/26, helping children build the skills and confidence they need to travel more independently.

Alongside measures such as School Streets, cycle parking and wider active travel initiatives, it shows what can happen when children are given both the skills and the environment to make active journeys.

Streets where people live, work and shop SHOULD be for people. Not cars.

Downtown Toronto has gone RIGHT DOWN HILL since they got rid of the car parking!!!!

Toronto, Canada — 1970 vs 2021.

This is the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood, one of Toronto’s oldest urban areas. In the 1960s and 1970s, large parts of the district were covered by surface parking lots after older buildings had been cleared.

Today, the same area around Berczy Park and the historic Gooderham “Flatiron” Building has been transformed into a dense, walkable public space with restored streets, new housing, trees, and one of Toronto’s most recognizable urban parks.

Marlow Town Council recently passed a resolution to produce a “Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan” for Marlow and connections to surrounding villages.

The link below is from Buckinghamshire Council’s website, explaining more about what it is…

They have produced a countywide plan, which conspicuously doesn’t include much work on Marlow. Marlow Town Council hope to fill the gap with a formal strategic plan to improve public infrastructure in our area.

There will be numerous opportunities for all residents to share their views…

The first of which is at a stall this Sunday 14th June at the Marlow community day after the Regatta - by the Steve Redgrave statue. Come along!

Did you know? 1/3 women don’t have time to go for a walk 😲

We asked women what benefits they experience when they do get chance to go for a wander. Better mental health, feeling calmer and improved fitness topped the very long list of benefits - worth making the time for!

Join us this National Walking Month. Pledge to and start enjoying some of those many joys of walking and wheeling.
