East Dunbartonshire Council is inviting residents to provide feedback on its draft Active Travel Strategy 2 (ATS2), aiming to make walking, wheeling, and cycling the preferred choice for local trips.

East Dunbartonshire Council is seeking public input on its draft Active Travel Strategy 2 (ATS2), which aims to encourage walking, wheeling, and cycling for everyday journeys. The consultation period closes on 15 November 2026.
Residents can share their views online via the dedicated Active Travel Strategy 2 Consultation page. Alternatively, a series of drop-in sessions are being held across the council area throughout October and early November 2026.
These sessions include: Mugdock Country Park (15 October), Kirkintilloch Leisure Centre (22 October), Lennoxtown Library (27 October), Bishopbriggs Library (29 October), Milngavie Library (4 November), and Bearsden Community Hub (9 November).
All feedback received will be considered for the finalisation of ATS2. Once approved, the 10-year strategy will outline policies and actions to promote active travel locally, with the mission that 'Walking, wheeling or cycling will be the first and natural choice for local everyday trips'.
The strategy is expected to enhance environmental, health, wellbeing, and inclusive growth outcomes for residents, workers, students, and visitors. It aligns with other council initiatives, such as the Climate Action Plan approved in June 2025.

"I hope as many people as possible are able to provide their views on the draft Active Travel Strategy 2. This is a journey we need to make together, so it's vital that we gather as much feedback as possible."
