Telford & Wrekin Council, GB conducts trial of CCTV cameras in licensed taxis

The council seeks 20 taxi drivers for voluntary participation in the pilot. Cabin cameras record driver and passenger behavior footage only accessible if either party files police complaints. Signage on vehicle interiors and exteriors warns passengers about the cameras. The pilot protects privacy rights by maintaining high standards for data security and only using audio in case of emergencies. Local officials hope drivers and passengers experience safer rides with the new technology.

Telford & Wrekin Council, GB adds kinetic pavement between Telford's town centre and train station

Pavegen installed tiles made from stainless steel and rubber under a six-meter stretch of pavement. The tiles connect to a generator that converts each step into a maximum of 5 joules of energy. Every footstep produces zero-emission electricity for two free mobile device chargers. A digital display along the Silver Swallow footbridge shows the amount of energy produced by the pavement. This project provides a convenient and sustainable charging solution for Telford commuters.

Telford & Wrekin Council, GB and UK Ministry of Defence partner on Active SMiles employee incentive

An October 2022 pilot involved 20 employees at an MoD facility in Donnington.

Active SMiles rewarded employees who met or exceeded this goal with £50 grocery vouchers, thus combining inflation relief and active travel efforts. Council officials are seeking funds to expand the pilot to other employers in 2023.
