Active travel survey

Overview

We wanted to hear your views on the latest draft of ‘On the Move Midlothian: Our Active Travel Strategy for Everyone’, a copy of which you could download on this page (see related documents).

The draft active travel strategy, which includes measurable and achievable targets, focuses on making Midlothian a place where getting around in a way that makes you physically active, such as walking and wheeling, will be an easy, convenient, cheap and realistic option for all. 

It has been shaped by feedback from a previous public and stakeholder consultation in 2022 that highlighted key priorities and routes/locations where demand for improved active travel infrastructure is high. More than 500 people responded to the 2022 survey.

We received 191 responses to this more recent consultation.
