Mums for Lungs has been championing School Streets for seven years. In that time, we have spoken to hundreds of parents, created insightful resources, developed and delivered school assemblies, shared our knowledge with councils and council officers, worked with communities all over London, mobilised hundreds of parents to campaign for their own School Streets and carried out research highlighting how School Streets can be implemented in a cost-neutral way.
Our latest research confirmed again that implementing School Streets is cost-neutral to councils, with 76 per cent of the councils surveyed saying that their School Street schemes had broken even or generated income.
With this webinar, we are bringing together councillors and council officers from across the country to share our collective expertise and best practice, to help and inspire you to introduce School Streets at pace in your area.
Cities such as Manchester, Derby, Portsmouth, Cardiff and Edinburgh have all introduced School Streets schemes, and following the success of the schemes in London, we know that there is the potential for many, many more.
Wherever you are - please join the discussion!
Speakers to be announced.
There will be a Q+A session at the end.
