I agree that walking and cycling are two separate issues, especially as, these days, so many of the modern 'cycles' are high speed motorised vehicles. And increasingly these are becoming linked to criminality (ref last night's London news). Like Karl,[…]

No question, encouraging walking would be aided by an improvement to the often-dreadful state of our pavements, as well as safer road crossing areas. I would add the speed and noise of adjoining traffic can be off putting for walkers[…]

The Grassroots 4 Palestine campaign is recruiting teenagers for a Play in a Day project linked to a visit to London by young Palestinians in February 2026.

The Play in a Day, "Beyond the Checkpoint", will be developed and performed at a venue in Enfield or Haringey on 8th February 2026, in connection with a visit to London by a group of Palestinian teenagers, hosted by Grassroots 4 Palestine.

London teenagers (aged between 14 and 18) will spend the day together with the Palestinian visitors creating the play and learning dabke (the visitors will be accompanied by a dabke teacher). The play will be developed during the day on 8th February and the public performance will take place the same evening.

There will also be a short pre-briefing session (probably before Christmas) so that potential performers can hear more about the project, and know what to expect.

Beyond the Checkpoint: a play in a day

Who we’re looking for:

✔ Young people aged 14–18
✔ Based in/able to travel to North London
✔ Free on Feb 8 (day + evening)
✔ Open to working and performing with Palestinian young people

What you’ll get:

🇵🇸Learn about Palestine
🤝Make new friends
💃Learn dabke
🎤Show your talent
🎭Be part of a unique creative day
