Appendix 14 - What survey respondents would do differently for next strategy

These responses were received from electronic survey respondents in answer to the question “What would you do differently if you were revising this strategy?”

• More street width information
• Include walking within the report
• We need better consultation, Strategic goals
• More emphasis on staffing resources
• Expand on recreational & health benefits
• Ensure implementation plan with timings/costings
• Nothing, but might change mind after start implementing
• Have more staff so that I/we could focus on this
• Nothing significant – stay with the same format
• Include more urban & travel demand management (TDM) context
• Too early to say. Still in process of development
• Only just released strategy
• Goals that are not specific as councils change
• Have trends as targets instead of point figures
• Separate cycling and walking
• More field research and pedestrian surveys
• Set priorities better in terms of works
• Did not identify practical solutions or funding
• Possibly focus more on recreational routes rather
• More verbal description
• Incorporate implementation plan detail
• Including walking (which will happen in 04/05)
• More public participation/ wider consultation
• Think bigger in terms of the projects proposed
• Nil (2 responses)

Generally respondents would widen the scope of their strategy, if they were doing them again. This might be through inclusion of both walking and cycling (rather than just one), or the addition of more content covering health, recreation, travel demand management, or data. Better public consultation was also identified as an area for improvement.
