Let’s Talk Walking, Wheeling & Cycling – Have Your Say
Coventry City Council has launched a new conversation with the community about walking, wheeling and cycling across the city. We want to better understand the barriers people face when trying to travel actively, and how the council can support more residents to make everyday journeys by foot, wheelchair, mobility aid or bicycle.
The feedback gathered will help shape Coventry’s emerging active travel infrastructure plan and guide which projects should be prioritised in future. This is an important opportunity for communities to influence how local neighbourhoods are designed and how safe, inclusive travel routes are developed.
The Let’s Talk Walking Wheeling Cycling survey is now live and open until 8 March. We encourage community groups, partners and residents to share the survey widely to help spread the word.
👉 More information and the survey are available at:
