No Going Back
The No Going Back campaign got off to a fantastic start so thank you if you took part in the flyposting of 'closed for good' materials - it was amazing to see pictures from around the Midlands. Special shout out to Malvern, who designed their own poster with adapted messaging, who now have this poster all round town!
This action is continuing with 'Another World is Possible', and 'Reclaim the Streets', read on for details!

Reclaim the Streets
On the weekend of the 16th and 17th May, the Reclaim the Streets Action will take place. This is the 25th anniversary of the first action of this kind, the aim is to reclaim the streets for the good of people.
We aim to create images of bike friendly streets along with the words ‘NO GOING BACK’. This will be especially effective in areas where new cycle facilities would be of great benefit.
Once the streets are marked as bike and pedestrian friendly, the aim on the 17th of May is to celebrate how beautiful the empty streets are, by riding the streets painted the previous day.
For more information, consult the action guide
If you have any feedback regarding the action or are interested in taking part, send an email to XRmidlandsactions@protonmail.com and if you get any cool pictures of actions, like always send them to xrmidlandsmedia@protonmail.com or send them as a direct message on any of our social media channels!
