Big Street Survey

Our Big Street Survey is an exciting free curriculum resource enabling pupils to investigate the area around their school and create a manifesto on how to make their streets safer and greener.

Pledge to take part in the Big Street Survey

After the success of Sustrans' Big Walk and Wheel we would love for your school to be involved in our next Big Street Survey. Please consider pledging to take part and we will contact you with further details.

How it works

Working both inside and outside the classroom, pupils explore what they like and dislike about their neighbourhood. They then develop their manifesto which can be used to lobby decision-makers and elected representatives at national and local level to make their changes happen.

Organise forums to discuss your ideas with local press, experts and decision-makers.

Big Street Survey is a fun and engaging resource that raises the pupil’s voice and demonstrates what changes they want to see.

Start with the Quick Start Guides to learn how best to use the resource. We have two Quick Start Guides available.

It was a brilliant afternoon. The pupils enjoyed themselves and learnt so much. They are still talking about it today.
