Our work in England

We work with local authorities, schools, workplaces and communities across England to make it easier for people to walk and cycle.

We deliver projects to improve walking and cycling infrastructure and to help people walk and cycle for their everyday journeys.

We work in partnership, bringing people together to find the right solutions.

We have a wide range of expertise to help local authorities, businesses, schools and communities achieve active travel goals. These include:

Design

of walking and cycling schemes - urban, traffic free and leisure routes

Engagement

of residents, businesses, and other local stakeholders to achieve better design solutions

Delivery

of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, Healthy Streets, and schools and workplaces projects

Tailored support

for organisations seeking to increase active travel

Liveable cities and towns for everyone

Examples of our work in England
