Unfortunately, the use of ebikes and escooters to facilitate anti-social behaviour in this area needs to be recognised when proposing linking areas for walkability. Currently, footpaths are unsafe for pedestrians and walking to the local shops is now less safe than driving. This a real and serious risk for residents in this area. The anti-social behaviour issues in the area have to be considered throughout the framework and decarbonisation proposals. This is as much part of placemaking as retaining an old wall.
Can a definition of healthy placemaking be provided?
