Things can change
It probably helps if you have a famous Yorkshireman on your side, but local action can bring about changes.
In Hampstead in London, changes to the streets have been anounced that will see new benches, removal of trip hazards, smoother paving and finger posts as incremental improvements along a new urban walk following a Community Street Audit. A street audit was part of the research for the Crossroads scheme that was carried out here in Bishopthorpe.
The changes are part of the local (Camden) council's efforts to reduce traffic and emissions by encouraging walking.
