HOW WE CAN MAKE STREETS BETTER FOR WALKING
We want a nation where walking is the natural choice for everyday local journeys. Our mission is to achieve a better walking environment and inspire people to walk more.
Have a look at our policies below to see some of the key ways we can get more people walking.
