The Essex Walking Strategy outlines in detail the steps being taken to encourage walking in Essex and identifies the direction that will be taken in the future.

The Essex Walking Strategy has been produced as part of the Essex Local Transport Plan. Our aim is to create an environment that encourages walking by considering the needs of pedestrians first.

To achieve this we will work with our partners: in promoting walking; to improve safety and security for pedestrians; to improve the quality of the walking environment; to introduce and maintain walking as the primary mode of transport.

The Strategy outlines the problems and opportunities associated with walking in Essex and brings together all Essex County Council's policies concerning walking. It also contains objectives and targets for walking and identifies the strategies for achieving them.
