2025, the Council’s Strategy and Community Committee formally adopted the
Walking and Riding Strategy 2025. The decision followed a
comprehensive community engagement process, during which the Committee
considered all submissions received, including a number of in-person
presentations from community members and stakeholders.
In response to the feedback, several minor changes were made to the draft Strategy. These amendments, informed by both public submissions and Council Officer recommendations, were carefully deliberated before the Committee endorsed the final version.
The adoption of the Walking and Riding Strategy marks a significant step forward in promoting and supporting active transport across the district . - Review of Easter Sunday Shop Trading Policy - Consultation on the Council’s draft Easter Sunday Shop Trading Policy closed at 5pm on Monday 3 March 2025.
