City of London: Road Danger Reduction Campaign
The high volume of pedestrians at peak times in the City of London means that pedestrians may step into the road unexpectedly and motorists need to be constantly vigilant. Pedestrian KSI numbers are increasing, involving around 50% of KSI collisions. Although pedestrians have a responsibility for their own safety, they are the most vulnerable road users. The ‘Be Brake Ready’ campaign doesn’t blame victims, but targets sources of danger and heightens pedestrians’ awareness of danger to themselves and to other vulnerable road users, such as cyclists and motorcyclists.
-
Green Gumption: Vehicle Idling Action Campaign
In 2016 the Mayor of London’s Air Quality Fund enabled the launch of the Vehicle Idling Action behavioural change campaign, bringing together 16 boroughs to create the a London-wide education and awareness raising campaign on the effects on air pollution and health. It will continue into a 3rd year with 18 boroughs taking part. It is aimed at motorists and drivers, pedestrians and concerned citizens. To raise awareness, an innovative, vehicle idling-themed snakes & ladders board game was developed to engage families in learning about air pollution issues. This was also produced in a pocket-size version for drivers and passers-by.

Meristem: Green Screens to Reduce Air Pollution in Playgrounds
In London alone there are over 800 schools that are located in areas that exceed the EU legal limit for nitrogen dioxide of 40μg/m3, meaning thousands of children are being exposed to poor air quality, both inside and outside the classroom. Last year the Mayor of London audited 50 of the most polluted schools in London. Meristem Design are working with the list of schools audited, and more, to ‘green up’ their schools with green screens, trees, additional planting and internal and external living walls. The screens have been shown to remove particulates from roadside air and also contribute to improved visual amenity as well as improvements in air quality.
-
What If Projects: Lamlas Garden
A community-led project team delivered the Lamlas Garden project, a reclaimed street at the heart of a neighbourhood local to Elephant & Castle, London, in phases. Residents, in liaison with Southwark Council, successfully re-designated the street, meaning it could be free of traffic and provide access only to pedestrians, cyclists and for vehicular deliveries to the neighbouring Lamlash Street Allotment sites. From this base, the project team developed ideas for a garden, an edible garden, new street trees, planting beds, a new street surface, and planters for community growing.

Croydon Council: School Pilot Scheme
Parking issues are a genuine concern for local schools, residents, police, parents and ward councillors. With two schools in close proximity around Woodcote Primary, there is a very high volume of traffic on a daily basis. With agreement that current measures are ineffective in tackling the problems, and working alongside teams within education, Croydon Healthy Schools, public health, pollution and highways, the council updated its School Travel Plan (STP). Since the introduction of a pedestrian zone it is noticeable how much safer the school road is at drop off and pick up times, without many vehicles travelling down the road and poor parking making travel unsafe for the children. Vehicles entering the zone were monitored by unattended cameras at the entry points of the zone during restricted hours.
