“ You see things; and you say ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say ‘Why not?’ ” - George Bernard Shaw Sustrans’ simple aim is to make streets safer, more attractive and vibrant places to live. We work with communities, residents and schools. Elgin Cockmuir Place is a cul-de-sac to the south of Elgin. There are 30 properties consisting of a mix of bungalows, terraced housing and flatted accommodation. The age and physical ability of residents on the street is very varied. The street is close to Greenwards Primary School and Elgin High School and tends to be used by parents as a convenient drop off/pick up location for children being driven to and from the primary school. Cockmuir Place is also close to an extensive network of traffic free cycle routes developed recently through the Urban Freedom active travel initiative in Elgin with support from Sustrans. The Street Design project was delivered by Sustrans and The Moray Council with additional support from the Bilbohall Tenants Forum and local charity Step Forward. 1. INTRODUCTION
