Qualitative and quantitative analysis
“It’s really empowering when you engage with communities and say “what do you want? Do you want to be involved in the process?” And then people get a sense of ownership
Local Resident
“As a result of the project, the route is more pleasant. Taking barriers away made an amazing difference – you can actually see your way! More people are out walking now, including young mums and people in wheelchairs. It’s just a friendlier place.”
