This year we have already had some fun programmes under way, and one of them is working with Wellington City Council to encourage less use of cars around Ngaio and Crofton Downs. This programme promoted public transport or active modes such as walking or cycling.
The social bike tours to build confidence and skills to travel safely and efficiently by paihikara (bike), while getting to know the bike improvements in Ngaio were part of this programme.
We are also aiming to get as much input from our locals to make a map that shows interesting places to visit when walking and cycling around Ngaio and Crofton Downs. There is now a ‘new rider’ flyer available – follow this link to add your suggestions and ideas: Climate Action Info Hub.
Ealry in this project we asked residents to fill in a survey, and had around 200 replies – so clearly a topic that many ewre prepared to get involved in.
Now its time for a final evaluation survey for this project, which will show us if there has been any change in habits. So again we are asking everyone to please jump onto a quick survey, to give the project team good evaluation data. Ngaio and Crofton Downs Post-Project Survey
Remember too, a responsive and enthusiastic community makes it easier for us to gain support to help make future projects happen.
