Better streets for older people

Event overview

We want Arlen Hill to be a place where everyone can get around safely, comfortably and independently, whatever their age.

Join us at our International Day of Older Persons event at Arlen Square, from 12–4pm on Saturday 30 October. It’s an opportunity to meet the team, find out more about our work and share your experiences of getting around Arlen Hill.

We want to hear from you

Older people experience our streets and public spaces in different ways, and we want those experiences to help shape future improvements.

We’d like to hear about what works well, where you encounter problems and the changes that could make everyday journeys easier. That might include safer pedestrian crossings, better footpaths, more places to sit and rest, improved lighting, accessible bus stops or easier connections to local shops and services.

Your feedback will help us understand where improvements are most needed and what we should consider when planning future changes to streets and public spaces.

What to expect

Our team will be at Arlen Square throughout the afternoon. You can drop by for a quick chat or stay a little longer to discuss your experiences and ideas.

You’ll be able to:

• talk directly with members of our transport and streets team
• tell us about places where you feel safe or unsafe getting around
• suggest improvements you’d like to see in your neighbourhood
• find out about upcoming street and transport projects
• learn about other ways to have your say on our plans
