Sustrans’ asks for the 2022 English regional elections

We're calling for local election candidates in all regions to put walking and cycling at the heart of their plans for a fairer, healthier future.

We believe healthier, fairer places and better transport will underpin the UK’s recovery from the pandemic.

We must act now. The upcoming elections have never been more important.

The Covid-19 pandemic is a wake-up call that has both exposed and widened the vast inequity that exists between people and places.

At the same time the climate crisis has not gone away.

It’s imperative that we take urgent action now to create jobs, meet net-zero commitments and improve health.

Towns, cities and regions will be at the heart of building back better.

Healthier, fairer places and better transport will underpin the UK’s recovery.

We must act now.

Want to ensure that we create healthier, fairer places across England?

Get in touch with your preferred candidate and ask them to commit to putting walking and cycling at the heart of their plans for your area.

You can email them. You can Tweet, Instagram or Facebook them. You can even write them a letter. It all counts.
