LIVING STREETS AND THE PEDESTRIANS' ASSOCIATION

Early day motion 647, tabled 14 January 2002 by Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 63 members.

That this House congratulates The Pedestrians' Association on the launch of its new identity Living Streets; recognises that the Association has since its formation in 1929, been a leading advocate in promoting and defending the interests of pedestrians; applauds it for campaigns such as The Walk to School and for Home Zones and pedestrianised areas; supports Living Streets in its urgent challenge to the authorities who for decades have allowed motorised traffic priorities to overwhelm our local streets and public places, and failed to keep them clean and safe; and calls on the Government and local authorities to implement the 10 pedestrian friendly proposals put forward in the Living Streets manifesto.
