## Resource

England’s government unveils a bold new plan to slash serious cycling and walking accidents by 65% for adults and 70% for kids, while aiming for 60% of school trips to be by foot or bike — all backed by a £4.5 million investment. Responding to decades of advocacy from over 50 groups, the strategy grants local councils more power to embed active travel into urban planning, with a clear focus on empowering children through safe, independent routes to school. Inspired by Paris’s success and spotlighting areas like Islington, this push could reshape cities into safer, more walkable communities — if political will and infrastructure meet.
