Vision Zero- Travel Safe, Save Lives

Committee discussion

London's updated #VisionZero plan shows 20mph zones cut child road deaths by 75% & overall casualties by 34%. But with 110 people still killed on our roads last year, we need urgent action on safe speeds & street design. The data is clear - let's act on it. 🚸

Fantastic to see @FerryLaneN17 leading the way in waste prevention! Today they were recognised at EcoPark House for their outstanding work in the @connectNLWA In the Know programme - showing how north London schools can make a real difference. Proud of our Haringey schools!💚♻️

Our Climate Partnership meeting reinforced the fact that individual agency, when networked with others, becomes our most powerful tool.

Real change happens when communities don't just have a seat at the table - they help build it.

Our next Haringey Climate Partnership meeting - Wed 9 July, 6.30-8.30pm at Alexandra House, N22!

Let's shape our Local Nature Recovery Strategy, single-use plastics & new Borough Vision's Call to Action on greener choices, together.

50 Reasons Why Everyone Should Want More Walkable Streets From making you live longer to making cities more resilient: If you want a reason to make your city more walkable, it's in here.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath

dozens of kids cheering with their bikes in Lordship Rec

So many kids celebrating in the joy and freedom of cycling! Great for health, great for confidence. We're determined to make the borough safe enough for every child to join in and share the joy!

People I see on e-bikes:
- Seniors staying active and living their best life.
- Moms, dads and kids actually enjoying the school run.
- People getting groceries or running errands
- Service workers commuting on an affordable vehicle

“E-bikes aren’t cheating. They’re winning.” - @pflax1.bsky.social

Incredible weekend collection! Dozens of bikes donated to transform refugees' lives. When living on just £8.86 per week and unable to work, these bikes are far more than transport—they're freedom from isolation, dignity amid uncertainty, and hope when it's needed most

🚲 Give a bike, change a life! The Bike Project is collecting unwanted bicycles this Saturday. Each donated bike helps a refugee overcome transport poverty and rebuild their life with dignity and independence. Donate your unused bike and support this vital cause!

We've explored how to do this with small schemes. It's all down to resources and capacity. We've decided it's best to focus those on big schemes, improving walking & cycling simultaneously where possible, and focusing on highest standard infrastructure.

This is an old historic (sub-optimal) cycle route. We're implementing high quality lanes across the borough. This road will be addressed in the programme

Incredible energy at our Climate Partnership meeting! From grassroots music projects to community-led festivals, we're reinventing climate engagement. Residents and Council working hand-in-hand, proving local collaboration is the key to meaningful climate action

Haringey Cabinet voted unanimously to keep the 3 Haringey LTNs!

The journey may be challenging, but the destination is a borough that prioritises the well-being of its residents and the sustainability of our environment.

Sustrans London team were engagement and design partners on these Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in Haringey.

Massive congrats to @mikehakata.bsky.social and team for years of hard work on this. My old stomping ground in Bruce Grove had one of the worst records for people getting hurt while walking and cycling. After the LTN, casualties have reduced by *60 per cent*

Impressive stats from the Haringey LTNs 💚

👏👏 @mikehakata.bsky.social @perayahmet.bsky.social

We don't build a better world for future generations by keeping things as they are
