Seven Kings & Newbury Park Resident's Association and Living Streets organised a comunity audit of Aldborough Road South today as part of the Redbridge Fitter for Walking project. As we walked the street we noted issues for notification to the relevant authorities and to consider for comunity action. These included: dumped rubbish, cracked pavements, speeding traffic, and improved signage, amongst other issues.
Living Streets say we all hear a lot about the need to increase the amount of exercise we take, and for busy people the best answer to that can be leaving the car keys at home and walking more as part of their daily routine.
But to do that, we need our streets to feel safe, look attractive, and be looked after with people in mind. Often it's simple things that can make a huge difference to how we view our streets - whether clearing up a particularly useful walking route, starting up street parties, or running campaigns to get parents walking the school run.
