Question to the Department for Transport:

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.

On 25^th 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.
