Landor LINKS LIVE

School Streets are changing the face of the school run — improving safety, air quality, and children’s wellbeing while helping local communities reclaim their streets.

Returning for its third edition, School Streets North is the UK’s leading regional event dedicated to School Streets policy, delivery, and best practice.

Hosted by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, this year’s event brings together local authorities, campaigners, headteachers, transport planners, and active travel professionals to discuss how to expand and sustain School Street programmes across the North.

As integrated transport moves up the agenda, this webinar will cover how bus services can increase connectivity in rural areas, and the benefits this unlocks.

The webinar will look at local authority experience of rural bus service routes and using DRT to enable access to transport, focusing on Surrey County Council. It will also cover the practical considerations for bus franchising and network design in rural areas with recent learning from the WSP bus team.

The panel will be joined by the team from the University of Leeds and the University of the West of England, which evaluated the DfT’s Rural Mobility Fund, to discuss their further work on calculating the value of DRT services and their contribution to local economies.

Finally, Max MacDonald will look at some of the DRT designs which can support integrated transport in rural areas, including flexible routes along corridors and feeder services that enable people to connect to onward bus and rail options.

The fifth in our Delivering 20 webinar series explores how reducing speed limits from 30mph to 20mph in built-up areas has the potential to play a transformative role in achieving the UK Government’s ambitious road safety targets - including a 65% reduction in casualties, rising to 70% for children and young people.
This webinar brings together leading voices from across the sector to explore how 20mph limits are already delivering measurable safety benefits in communities across the UK.
Hear directly from councillors and local authority officers who have successfully implemented 20mph schemes, sharing real-world insights into casualty reduction outcomes, public engagement, and delivery challenges.
We’ll also examine:

• The key barriers to wider 20mph adoption and how they can be overcome
• The role of the Government’s Road Safety Strategy in enabling a national approach
• Lessons from Wales, where a default 20mph limit was introduced in 2023 and casualty reductions are being sustained

Plus, get an exclusive preview of the upcoming Vision Zero Conference in Birmingham on 30 June.
Speakers

• Darren Divall, Regional Road Safety Manager, Transport for West Midlands
• Cllr Andrew Gant, Cabinet Member for Transport Management, Oxfordshire County Council
• Phil Jones, Founder and Chair, Phil Jones Associates
• Sue Nicholls, Director, 20’s Plenty for Us

Rural Bus 2026 is supported by the Department for Transport and the Bus Centre of Excellence as both understand how vital bus services are in delivering Government’s stated missions. Both recognise that improving rural mobility is central to delivering UK Government priorities from economic growth and net zero to levelling up, health, and social inclusion.

This unique event will bring together more than 250 local authorities, operators, consultancy and service providers to share best practice across the rural bus sector. A range of keynotes, presentations, interactive panels, case studies and organised networking sessions will help delegates understand how to:

•    Make use of the Bus Services Act to support rural buses
•    Develop stronger local control to support rural routes
•    Embed protection for “socially necessary” services
•    Develop robust and timely paths to franchising or Enhanced Partnerships
•    Understand what’s available in funding and rural investment
•    Make the most of lessons learned from the Rural Mobility Fund evaluations
•    Create funding formulas that explicitly recognise rural challenges
•    Evaluating how Enhanced Partnership or franchising arrangements can create and maintain local services
•    Making the most of revised planning frameworks  – supporting sustainable travel, including rural buses

Now in its 21st year, Modelling World 2026 will be heading to Leedson 17 and 18 June 2026, with a renewed focus on excellence, innovation and diversity across the transport modelling and data science professions.

Modelling World is where transport modellers meet, share best practice, explore and challenge innovation, and celebrate success. We would like to hear from anyone who has a story to tell, a novel technique to share, or a breakthrough to celebrate. 

The convergence of sweeping policy and planning reforms, high demand for well-connected homes and commercial spaces and returning demand for rail services makes 2026 a pivotal moment for development around rail stations. 
 
This popular annual event will bring together leading professionals from the rail, planning, real estate, development, legal, banking and regeneration sectors with national, regional and local public sector decision-makers to understand:

• how policy reform is creating a once-in-a-generation reset moment
• the detail of how rail station and place regeneration is increasingly policy-aligned
• how planning reform is positioning rail stations as key development opportunities, supported by Government policy objectives

Delivering Vision Zero is for anyone committed to eliminating road deaths and serious injuries – and to creating streets where people can move, meet, play and live without fear.

The programme will showcase real-world examples of delivery from across the UK, explore emerging tools and technologies, and consider how safer streets can unlock wider benefits for communities, public health, active travel and everyday life.

Enforcement Excellence 2026 brings together local authorities, policymakers, transport professionals and technology providers to explore the evolving role of enforcement in managing roads, public spaces and urban environments.

As pressures on local authorities continue to grow, enforcement is no longer simply about issuing penalties. It plays a critical role in ensuring compliance, enabling access, supporting vulnerable users and maintaining the safe and efficient operation of towns and cities.

At the same time, new approaches to charging and pricing are emerging as essential tools to manage congestion, improve air quality and support long-term funding.

This year’s conference introduces a dedicated focus on Charging for Movement, exploring how enforcement and charging are increasingly working together to shape behaviour and deliver better outcomes.

Through expert presentations, panel discussions and parallel streams, the event will combine strategic insight with practical delivery — covering everything from Blue Badge enforcement and anti-social behaviour through to Clean Air Zones, road user charging and future funding models.

Key Themes

•    Parking enforcement and compliance
•    Moving traffic regulations and enforcement powers
•    Road user and emissions charging schemes
•    The Blue Badge scheme: access, misuse and reform
•    The results and impact of National Blue Badge Awareness Week
•    Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) and anti-social behaviour
•    Pavement parking, fly-tipping and environmental enforcement
•    Managing electric vehicle charging bays
•    Ghost and cloned number plates
•    Debt recovery and supporting vulnerable debtors
•    Protecting frontline staff

Time for Trams is a bold new annual gathering for the people shaping the future of urban transport in the UK.

This is not just another conference.

It is a rallying point for political leaders, policy makers, investors and delivery experts who recognise that Britain needs to move faster - and think bigger - when it comes to mass transit.

At its heart, Time for Trams is about one question: How do we deliver new tram networks faster, more affordably, and at scale?

The UK doesn’t lack ambition.
It lacks delivery at pace.

Time for Trams is about changing that.
