The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, in which month Active Travel England plans to publish guidance to help authorities design safer streets for women and girls.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

On 25th March, Active Travel England set out its intention to publish guidance during 2026 as part of a programme of work to support authorities to design safer streets for women and girls.

The programme is under development this year with the intention to deliver guidance in a range of formats that are both engaging and easy to adopt. For example, an introductory document on the topic, with associated training for council officers, developers and practitioners, and a revised best practice guide to community consultation and engagement.
