Levels of active travel (walking, cycling and wheeling) have increased significantly in East Dunbartonshire over the past year. To build on this opportunity and to deliver on Action 7 of the Local Transport Strategy 2020-2025, East Dunbartonshire Council is starting work to produce a new Active Travel Strategy for the area.
The first stage in this process is to engage with local communities and stakeholders and as of Tuesday 11 May, we are pleased to let you know that the Active Travel Discussion is now open.
This period is running till 28 September 2021 to provide a significant opportunity for local communities to explore and enjoy the existing local active travel network and then suggest ways in which it could be improved.
Local residents, community groups and other stakeholders can have their say online by:
