About this webinar
Join Pamela Holmes, Assistant Director of Transport at Newcastle City Council to discover how placemaking and biodiversity can be successfully embedded in active travel schemes.
In the session, Pamela will cover how new rain gardens, planters and unique seating have transformed Grey Street in Newcastle’s city centre.
The Grey Street works, partly funded by Active Travel England, aim to encourage more active travel through widened pavements, dedicated cycling infrastructure, improved seating and inclusive dwell spaces.
