Consultations - Help us get more local people travelling actively

More than 500 people filled in the survey. What you told us helped shape a draft Active Travel Strategy, which local people were also consulted on before the final strategy was approved in 2024.

• More on the final consultation, including details of the final council report and approved active travel strategy

One of Midlothian Council's aims is to promote the benefits of active travel, enhancing the health and wellbeing of the local community and increasing walking and cycling. 

Part of our vision is to see walking and cycling as the main choice for short, everyday journeys.

We wanted to hear your views on active travel in Midlothian by exploring a virtual consultation room and filling in a short survey.

What you told us helped to update our Active Travel Strategy, due to be published in 2022/23.

The strategy set out new priorities and measures that can be taken to increase active travel levels, improve active travel information, access and infrastructure in Midlothian. 

Arcadis supported us to deliver this consultation.
