We didn’t have a design & engineering team when I joined Sustrans Cymru so I wasn’t expecting that we would actually build a cycle path. The team has faced many challenges with this project but the progress on site today is impressive 💚🌳🚲🚶‍♀️🛴 #activetravel #construction

This is why 20mph speed limits are so important.

When a person is hit at 30mph, they are around five times more likely to be killed than if they were hit at 20mph.

We hope Ioan has a speedy recovery.

Do you want slower speeds where you live? No one says no when asked this question states Jenny Rathbone #20isplenty

We are delighted to have appointed Catherine Woodhead as our new Chief Executive.

Catherine brings a wealth of experience and talent, an impressive track record and a genuine passion for walking.

#EarthDay 2024

'This decision will cost pedestrian lives – the only question is how many.

“The evidence shows that 20mph saves lives and makes roads safer, but it takes time to for all the benefits to be felt.'

Our RuNia on Welsh Government's announcement
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It’s a busy media day for Sustrans Cymru where we are naturally talking about the benefits of 20mph speed limits for community safety #20mph #Wales

Pertinent question from Jenny Rathbone “I’ve yet to meet a single person who’s in favour of the speed limit being increased on their own street..” #20isplenty

“Cutting speeding traffic saves lives and makes people more likely to walk or cycle short distances rather than driving, which is better for their health and the environment.”

We respond to Welsh Government's plans to change its policy on 20mph:

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Wales has led the way taking steps to reduce not only road injuries and deaths, but also air pollution. This policy didn’t come from nowhere, it followed international evidence and at one point had 4 party support. No other nation has rolled back 30mph, we mustn’t be the first

“Living Streets Cymru is hugely disappointed that the Welsh Government has indicated there will be changes to the 20mph default speed limit, which could mean a backwards step for safer streets in Wales.'

Fascinating to hear Mark Drakeford 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 speaking yesterday about the decision not to build the M4 relief Road. After reading all the evidence, there was no other decision that could be made. Something others could learn from! #transport #Wales #leadership

This policy is achieving a 26mph average speed limit on formerly 30mph roads. Vulnerable roads users do not exist only outside schools and care homes. Prioritising cars over people leads to unsafe, unhealthy and unfriendly communities #20mph #Wales

'Woeful' update on £1bn south Wales metro project 😫 tinyurl.com/yck7ej35

🧐 What happens when people can borrow an e-bike for a month, for free?

That's exactly what our E-Move project did for people in Aberystwyth, Barry, Newtown, Rhyl, and Swansea

People who borrowed an e-bike reported
✅ Improved fitness
✅ Reduced isolation
✅ More independence

The impact of the climate crisis on people & planet is being felt more than ever.

We look forward to working with new Climate Change & Rural Affairs Secretary Huw Irranca-Davies & rest of the cabinet to prioritise #ClimateJustice and a #justtransition .
