Living Streets Scotland, the national charity for pedestrians, is running events with community groups to support communities across Scotland to take action to improve local walking environments, in partnership, where appropriate, with local authorities. The events will focus on the conditions for walking of a particular street or area that is known to the group and in doing so will highlight the importance of walking for health, and will look at examples of built environments that are conducive to walking. There is no cost to the group and Living Streets can meet sundry costs such as refreshments, venue hire and small-scale group actions as necessary.
