Our mission
Better Streets for Birmingham wants safer streets and more transport choice for everyday trips. To do this, we need to make changes to our streets, improve enforcement, and reconsider how we move around Birmingham.
We help residents to understand what changes can be made and how to ask for them. We also engage with authorities and government to make sure there is funding available.
We want to enable more people to leave their car at home by:
Unblocking pavements from parked cars
Building protected lanes for people to wheel and cycle in
Changing our streets to be slower, simpler, greener and healthier
Prioritising buses and trams
Enforcing the rules of the road
What we ask of supporters
We don’t require you to commit any time or money. If you would like to give money then you can donate to us.
We do ask our supporters to:
- Advocate our mission, vision and values
- Be respectful when engaging with other people and groups on social media
- Respect other supporters’ privacy
You cannot join as a supporter if you are a politician due to the conflict of interest. But you can sign up for updates as a stakeholder instead. If you have any questions about joining us, get in touch.
