Streets for people

What changes would you make to your local streets to encourage you to cycle more, walk more or let the kids play in the street?

That's what we've been asking residents in three areas across the city as part of our Streets for People programme. The areas are:

• Heaton and Ouseburn
• Jesmond
• Arthurs Hill and Fenham

We're currently developing plans following our consultation and we will release these soon.

Ideas for plans have included traffic calming measures near schools, walking routes to school and parks, safer crossings, nicer green spaces for local people to enjoy and local cycle routes to link up the wider citywide network.
