Quality Streets

"Wouldn’t life be great if the street outside your front door felt like your own space? Somewhere to chat with your neighbours, kick a ball with the kids, get about by foot and bike? Somewhere to give us all a better quality of life - a quality street.

For many of us the street outside our front door has become a place of speeding traffic, rat-running, noise and pollution. It’s a place for others to travel through rather than for communities to claim as their own.

That’s why we want local councillors to invest more of their local transport budgets to create quality streets. The first step is 20mph speed limits across whole villages, towns and cities. The second is residents being involved in designing their streets for living, playing, and getting out and about more. The result is better quality lives, quality chat and play, and safer more attractive places outside our front doors."
