Community Action: East Lytham Community Initiative (ELCI)
We also call for support and collaboration with the East Lytham
Community Initiative (ELCI), a local grassroots group committed to
improving safety, wellbeing, and education in our community.
ELCI is developing plans to educate our children about road safety and active travel through local community centres, offering:
Fun and engaging workshops on pedestrian and cycling safety
Family learning sessions on safe travel habits
Creative activities (posters, art projects, and campaigns) to help children become road safety ambassadors
Collaboration with local schools, youth groups, and parent organisations
By supporting ELCI’s efforts, we can foster a culture of safety and responsibility that extends from our streets into our homes and schools.
Together, we can make Lytham a safer, healthier, and more connected community. Please sign and share this petition to support urgent action.
This ePetition runs from 08/05/2025 to 12/06/2025.
