I’ve seen more people<br />
cycling and walking now<br />
”<br />
- Resident<br />
There are many factors that influence whether people choose to walk and<br />
cycle. One thing that does not change is that getting around under your own<br />
steam is good for your health and better for the enviornment. Street Design<br />
has created the opportunity for people to travel actively and addressed many<br />
of the factors that influence their choice of transport.<br />
53%<br />
of residents surveyed think that<br />
the amount of traffic has been<br />
reduced<br />
Children who are active and<br />
healthy are more likely to<br />
become adults who are active<br />
and healthy.<br />
The school journey appears<br />
calmer and lower risk than it<br />
used to be. Parents that do<br />
drive feel safer dropping their<br />
children off further away from<br />
the school in the knowledge<br />
that <strong>Cockmuir</strong> <strong>Place</strong> is safe for<br />
them to walk through without<br />
close adult supervision.<br />
The <strong>street</strong> now provides an<br />
engaging environment for<br />
people. This encourages<br />
children to arrive at school<br />
feeling refreshed, inspired and<br />
calm as well as sending them<br />
off at the end of the day feeling<br />
good.<br />
