Over 120 individuals have already contributed to shaping how walking, wheeling, and cycling can become the primary choice for everyday journeys within the council area. The consultation period is drawing to a close, with the final deadline set for midnight on Sunday 15 November 2026.
Several drop-in sessions have been held across East Dunbartonshire, including in Bishopbriggs, Kirkintilloch, Lennoxtown, and Mugdock Country Park. The final consultation events are scheduled to take place at Milngavie Library on Wednesday 4 November (1pm-5pm) and Bearsden Community Hub (Lesser Hall) on Monday 9 November (3pm-7pm).
All feedback received will be taken into consideration for the finalisation of ATS2. Once approved, this 10-year strategy will outline policies and actions aimed at promoting active travel within the local community. The council highlights that creating conditions for enhanced active travel is crucial for improving environmental, health, wellbeing, and inclusive growth outcomes for residents, workers, students, and visitors.
The new strategy is also designed to help East Dunbartonshire secure external funding for its implementation and aligns with other council initiatives, such as the Climate Action Plan. Further information and access to the online survey can be found on the Draft Active Travel Strategy 2 (ATS2) Consultation page.
