Health secretary Alan Johnson’s idea of broadening the proposed 10 eco towns into healthy or fit towns makes sense. I’d hope that planning for walking and cycling would have been important parts of such towns anyway.
I’d also hope that we don’t have to wait for these towns to be built before the rest of the country to take the link seriously.
See The Guardian’s article on fit towns.
And Cycling Edinburgh blog has an item addressing safety concerns which is worth a read - Cycling IS safe.
