Does your environment support healthy behaviour?
• Do you walk to places in your neighbourhood? Why/Why not? Is it pleasant to walk?
• Is it a safe area? What would make it safer?
• Would making it safer make it harder to walk to places? How could you achieve both at the same time?

CASE STUDIES
• A series of laneways have assisted criminals avoid capture by local police. What course of action would you recommend?
• Local pedestrians have been complaining about conflict with cyclists on a local shared pathway. What action is required?
• The local council is preparing a new master plan for the town centre. What issues would you raise to ensure a safe and active centre?
• Increased antisocial behaviour has been recorded at a tree lined riverside pathway. A local councilor has requested action. What do you do?
