Have your say on road safety

The Ministry of Transport has put out a discussion document "Safer Journeys", asking for feedback on the priorities for improving safety on the roads.  This is of paramount interest for walkers as we are the most vulnerable road users.  More people would walk if they felt that our roads and the people who drive on them were safer.  So have your say - you can read the document and make an on-line submission here, or put your comments on the blog for inclusion in the Living Streets submission.

School finds fun way to encourage safer and fitter students

A school in New Plymouth has found a fun, positive way to make its Davies Lane entrance safer, and its students fitter.

Both the school and New Plymouth District Council are encouraging parents not to use Davies Lane for picking up and dropping off their children, but to instead walk them to school from home or from their cars parked elsewhere.
