We want a nation where walking is the natural choice for everyday local journeys.

Our mission is to achieve a better walking environment and inspire people to walk more.

Progress starts here: one street, one school, one step at a time. Read our three year strategy to find out more about our vision, mission and values.

Walk With Us: Living Streets Strategy 2020-2025

Our five-year strategy is bold, ambitious and reflects the changed world we find ourselves in. 

Walking is at its heart and we want to see three key outcomes: 

  • People choose walking
  • Better streets for walking
  • All walks of life - we want walking to be for everyone.
