Vegetation fliers - for Overhanging or on the Footpath, Trees and Shrubs
We have a green flyer that you can place in people's letterboxes asking them to cut back vegetation that is a footpath obstacle.
You can order Vegetation Fliers by email to: accounts [at] livingstreets.org.nz.
Councils and other organisations can order print runs with their logo included. Or find a sponsor and we can get them printed for you with your sponsor's name.
Vegetation Flyers are available free to members and individuals at local meetings or we can send small numbers to members direct. Larger numbers by arrangement.

Rules for Drivers to Give Way to Pedestrians at Intersections
Living Streets wants greater emphasis to be given to keeping pedestrians and other vulnerable road users safe.
In the first instance, we think the Road Code should treat pedestrians as it treats other road users at intersections (mode equality). This would mean that turning vehicles would give way to pedestrians walking straight through (see the diagram below).

Workshop: Co-benefits of Walking and Cycling
This workshop is designed to bring together key local and international researchers, with policy analysts in local and central government, NGOs and members of the public, to consider the evidence for co-benefits of active journeys -- particularly benefits for population health, climate change, and quality of life -- and how this evidence can be strengthened and acted upon effectively.
