This week is Road Safety Week. The theme for 2022 is SAFE ROADS FOR ALL, bringing together communities and professionals to shout out for everyone's right to make safe and healthy journeys on our roads.

The road safety charity Brake will raise awareness of the key areas of road safety the Government supports including safe roads, safe vehicles and speeds, the new hierarchy of road users (Changes to the Highway Code | Entran Ltd) and the importance of inclusivity to keep us all safe on the roads, no matter who we are or how we travel. https://www.brake.org.uk/road-safety-week

Entran were thrilled to attend the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham today to cheer on a former employee, JohnPaul Balloqui who was competing for Gibraltar in the 100m butterfly at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre. He won his heat, knocking over a second off his lifetime best, but narrowly missed out on going through to the finals. What an excellent experience for JP and a great day out for us. #B2022.

Yesterday, Southwark Council resolved to grant plannig permission for the regeneration of the Tustin Estate on the Old Kent Road. The scheme will be referred to the GLA, but LBE planning committee approved the hybrid planning appication for 690 new homes, comprising 249 replacement homes for existing residents, reprovision of existing businesses and Pilgrim's Way School plus the construction of 441 new homes. The scheme includes refurbishment, replacement and new homes with approximately 70% afordable tenure.

The new dwellings will be car-free but existing residents will be able to retain their parking permits, subject to a longer-term plan to reduce parking across the site. The entire scheme was designed using TfL's Healthy Streets approach to promote walking and cycling as a first choice of transport.

Entran provided Transportation and Environmental consultancy services on this interesting project and are delighted with Southwark's decision.
