Streets fit for community life

On Saturday July 15 Southampton City Council will be playing host to the Living Streets annual conference.  Living Streets is a national charity campaigning for better streets and public space for people on foot. The event is a chance for community activists to get together with local and national politicians and professionals to find answers and solutions.

Councillor Adrian Vinson, Councillor Jill Baston and Councillor John Slade, and local MPs will all be present along with council officers from highways, city design, cleaning/open spaces, housing, neighbourhood wardens and neighbourhood coordinators.

Living Streets formed 76 years ago as the Pedestrians’ Association; the organisation has always campaigned for road safety and pedestrians’ rights, but also for streets which are fit for community life — for chatting, strolling, playing, shopping and all the other time-honoured uses of public space.
