Space to move

Changing our streets to make it easier for people to walk, wheel and cycle safely during the lockdown and beyond.

Local authorities across the UK are making changes to our streets in response to COVID-19.

These changes are designed to make it easier for people to walk, wheel and cycle safely whilst social distancing during the lockdown and beyond.

And we want to hear what you think about them.

 

Tell us what you think

We’ve created a map which shows the latest street changes across the UK.

These changes include temporary cycle lanes, wider footpaths, barriers to close streets to motor traffic, and reduced speed limits.

Search for your area, click on the icon, and fill in a short form to tell us how these changes are working for you.

We’ll collate the information and report back to local authorities where appropriate. And we may use your responses to inform future policy and planning.

Can’t see the street change in your local area?

If your local authority has made a change in your area but you can’t find it on our map, please fill in our short online form so we can add it to the map.

We'll take a look at your request and aim to get the scheme up on our map as soon as it has been confirmed.

How we're supporting local authorities to make these changes

We've put together guidance on re-allocating road space to make walking and cycling safer during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

If you're a local authority, see how Sustrans can support you to make walking and cycling safer.

The information gathered will be used to evaluate the public's views on infrastructure changes made by local authorities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
