Maple Road in Surbiton is the location for this year's 'In Town Without My Car' Day - a celebration of more environmentally friendly forms of transport on Friday 21 September.

In September, residents in hundreds of towns across Europe will be enjoying the fact that normally busy roads are closed off to traffic and Kingston will be no exception as Maple Road is transformed into a traffic-free, green space with lots of fun activities for all.

Local primary school pupils will be out on Maple Road, learning about greener ways to travel and, after 3:30pm, there will be plenty to see and do with a live jazz band, street theatre performances, games and outdoor seating.

Dr.Bike will be on hand to fix your bike for free and there will be lots of information about cycling and walking in the borough.

Come down to Maple Road on Friday 21st September and support this year's message, 'Streets for People'. For more information or to get involved, contact Susanne Afra of Kingston's Travel Awareness Team on 020 7547 5865 or email: susanne.afra@rbk.kingston.gov.uk
