The best (and worst) London boroughs for walking and cycling
In recent years, London's cycle network has gone from strength to strength. The capital reached a milestone of 400 kilometres of cycle paths last year, with two-wheeled Londoners now able to get right across the city via a network of cycleways and green spaces. And London's only getting more bike-friendly, with one of the busiest streets in the West End set to soon receive a cycle-friendly makeover. Reflecting some of those massive changes to the city, there's been a shake up in the official ranking of London's most walkable and cyclable boroughs by the Healthy Streets Scorecard. The scorecard sets out to rate London boroughs on factors concerning healthy and sustainable mobility. Indicators of how good a borough is for walkers and cyclists range from the number of low-traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) and 20mph zones to road collision casualty rates. Top of the 2025 Healthy Streets Scorecard was… The City of London! Which, we know, we know, isn't a borough at all – but for the purposes of the study it was considered one. The City climbed up one spot from last year, beating Islington to first place. The Square Mile scored 7.89 out of 10 and did particularly well with indicators like 'percentage of households without a car' (scoring 75 percent), how much of its transport is sustainable (95.9 percent, the highest in London) and how much people walk rather than use other modes of transport. The Scorecard admits that the City 'is not always comparable' to more residential boroughs – so it also recognises the best inner and outer London boroughs for cyclists and walkers, as well as a 'most improved' award. The best inner borough was Islington, scoring 7.54 overall. All roads in the north London borough are 20mph, 87 percent of journeys are made by sustainable means and there are only 29 cars per 100 households. The best outer London borough in the study was Waltham Forest. A high percentage of roads with protected cycle track (12 percent) helped WF score an outer-London best score of 5.55 out of 10. 'Most improved' went to Newham, with the east London borough jumping five places from 13th to 8th. This was partly down to the borough increasing its number of 20mph roads and traffic-free 'school streets'. Down the bottom of the 2025 Healthy Streets Scorecard was Bexley. The outer-southeast London borough was criticised for taking 'little or no action on most indicators', and scored worst for number of LTNs, 'school streets', roads with bus priority and sustainable transport journeys.

Congrats Coach Bond and Coach Heisey and every Seminole golfer who has worn the garnet and gold! — FSU Golf (@FSUGolf) April 19, 2025 The Florida State women's golf team captured its first ACC championship in program history, beating the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 3-2 on Saturday at the Sedgefield Country Club in Guilford County, North Carolina. "With everything going on, the girls really stayed where their feet are, played some really good golf, and got it done," head coach Amy Bond said in a press release. "I'm super excited; we have waited a long time for this, and it was well deserved by our crew against a very good Wake Forest squad. "We've been talking about one shot, one hole and they showed a lot of grit. That's what you've got to do in golf and especially in match play. You never quite know what you are going to come up against, and they fought through it no matter how much they were down and got the job done when they needed to." Freshman Alexandra Gazzoli clinched the match for the Seminoles on hole No. 18, breaking a four-hole tie and completing the comeback victory. Wake Forest took a 2-1 match lead earlier in the day but FSU won the final two matches to win the day.

Rise Against Hunger volunteers package 25,000 meals at First Christian Church
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Charity can be a small gesture or a grand one. First Christian Church prefers the latter. Hundreds of volunteers packed and shipped 25,000 meals to people in need around the world for Rise Against Hunger. According to Rise Against Hunger Area Manager Marshay Love, the church's efforts wouldn't have been possible without their donations. PREVIOUS: WF church to package thousands of meals for worldwide distribution 'The volunteers are funding it,' Love said. 'The volunteers are funneling it into and then putting it into the meal bag, and their hands are literally the last hands to touch the meals before they get over to their receiving community.' Each meal bag has the same ingredients; scoops of rice, soy, freeze-dried fruits, and vitamins, all meant to be boiled in a pot. After they're shipped, they can become something entirely new depending on their destination. 'Sometimes in the Philippines, they'll put yams and different types of potatoes and stuff with the meals just to give them more heartiness and just make it a little bit more bulky while also adding to it that cultural spin,' Love said. Over the last six years, First Christian Church has sent over 125,000 meals to people in need. Each year, the church's senior minister Dr. Mark Bender, and the rest of the church got the packing down to a science. 'We've got the youngest kids helping. We've got our oldest folks in and participating wherever they are,' Bender said. 'And we've got people who could not stand for long periods of time, they have a role to play as well.' LOCAL NEWS: ENJJPT program at Sheppard AFB molding lives of future pilots Nationalities of all kinds played a part too. Lieutenant Colonel Michael Rosenkrands with the Royal Danish Air Force was invited to take part as he is staying at Sheppard Air Force Base with the ENJJPT course. 'Honestly, packing a box of food here and giving it to somebody that needs it, it really doesn't matter if it's local or regional or global. I think it's just important we get it out there,' Rosenkrands said. Once packed up, the meals are shipped to one of nearly 80 countries. The 25,000 packed today will go to Burundi in central Africa.
