- Living Streets Ever since Living Streets (then known as the Pedestrians' Association) held its first meeting in 1929, we’ve stood up for the rights of pedestrians. We are celebrating our 85th birthday this year and if you take a look at our website when you get the chance there are some interesting features on there celebrating our achievements and looking back over our activities. We’ve had a role to play in the introduction of a number of innovations that you’ll all know well – including the highway code, the driving test, speed limits, and the zebra crossing. We continue to ‘stand up for pedestrians’ in Scotland and in the UK. We work with governments nationally, and locally, to influence policy and bring about changes to benefit people making journeys on foot. Key campaigns are our ‘Give Us Time to Cross’ campaign, across the UK, working to influence the DfT to change guidelines for local authorities to increase crossing times at signalised crossings, recognising our aging population, and the needs of the majority of people who can find crossing times and driver behaviours at crossings challenging and intimidating. In Scotland, a core campaign is the Responsible Parking Bill, which we’ve been taking forward with partners in the responsible parking Alliance, to see irresponsible parking made an offence in its own right – parking on drop kerbs, parking on the pavement, these are behaviours that have a real impact on pedestrians of all abilities but are a real hazard and barrier for those of us with sensory impairments, using wheelchairs, or for people walking with pushchairs, and our kids. Progress is being made, though it is a long process – but you can keep up date with the campaign on our website. Across the UK, and in Scotland, we also deliver projects working at community level, our WoW Scotland project working with schools across Scotland to encourage kids, and their parents. To walk, scoot or cycle to school, or to ‘park and stride’, to help our kids be more active, and to reduce congestion at the school gate. And, in Scotland, we deliver the paths for all and Scottish government funded project – Walkable Communities, which I am responsible for delivering. The project aims to work with communities and their partners in local authorities, health and other community planning partners to help bring about improvements that can encourage or enable more people to make more of their streets and public spaces, and get more people walking. A key objective of the programme is to support local people to have a say in the management of their own local streets and public spaces, so that people of all ages and abilities are able to walk in and to enjoy their neighbourhoods.
- Community Street Audits are a method for evaluating the quality of streets and public spaces from the perspective of the people that use them everyday, rather than from the perspective of people managing and maintaining the space. The approach works best when a good cross section of members of the community, including older people, young people, children parents and carers, people with disabilities including sensory impairments and mobility disabilities, residents from the area, local businesses, schools and parents groups, nurseries, and others from the community come together to consider the local environment, and when local stakeholders with a responsibility for managing the space including officers from the local authority from transportation, environmental management, town centre managers, and others including local police, councillors etc are involved from the beginning in listening to local peoples concerns and working in partnership to resolve issues and to deliver improvements. Living Streets has been aware that often in our communities work, the views of older people and especially those of people who might be less physically able and living in a care home setting can be missing from our audit work – so, we were keen to take the opportunity to work with CHAN to take forward a couple of pilot audits with care home residents in perth.
- Luncarty residents from the walking group, carers, Colin, the walk leader, a volunteer from Vision PK, and local nursery children preparing for the Luncarty audit. Some of the residents were very happy and able to talk about the things they’d like to see along the route, and others enjoyed the company and the sunshine. Everyone in the group walking together were able to see where there were issues for residents making the journey, and with their participation it was possible to identify priorities for action which will help to inform the council forward planning for the area – including improvements to a path running behind the care home linking one half of the village and the care home itself to the local primary school, which once vegetation has been cut back and attention paid to surfacing and lighting, can be an asset for the whole community.
- In the case of the kincarrathie audit, the residents have identified the route they would like to audit as a route they would like to be able to walk more independently. The residents selected the route that will form the focus of the audit. Other local residents have made comment to the council of issues in the surrounding streets and so local officers see the audit as a very useful exercise and an opportunity to get relevant local stakeholders together to identify priorities for improvements. The audit is allowing the residents to take the lead with the local community in acting to improve the local environment in Gannochy for everyone.
