Call for an Aotearoa New Zealand Walking Strategy

Living Streets Aotearoa is calling on the Government to develop a New Zealand Walking Strategy. We are faced with many global and local issues that would be improved if more people walked more often and yet there is no coordinated action to increase walk mode share or maintain the current conditions for pedestrians. Living Streets wants to see Government step up in a coordinated cross-agency way to improve walking and the place of pedestrians in policy, plans and action to benefit society and the places we live. We urgently need a future focused Aotearoa New Zealand Walking Strategy.

Sad news today

We are all reeling today from the news that President of Living Streets Aotearoa, Andy Smith has died. Our walking tõtara has fallen.

He was such a collaborative person with many interests and friends that we know this will affect many of you. Andy really committed himself to the common good as well as having fun along the way. 

He always said we are here for the long haul, and so we will continue on our path. 

We will let you know when we have any details about funeral arrangements.
