Living Streets Aotearoa

Walk2Work 2015 will be on Wednesday 11 March 2015.  Walk2Work day events aim to celebrate and reward those people who walk to work, and to encourage more people to give it a go.

A few low cost changes can make it easier for people to consider walking for transport.

Maps and directions

Having maps and information readily available makes it easy for staff and visitors to find out the best routes for them to get to your workplace on foot.  

Have a look at your policies and see if you can make them more walking friendly.  For example:

The Walk2Work Toolkit is a resource to help businesses encourage their employees to walk to work, thus reducing absenteeism, improving employee health, and increasing productivity.

Walking is the most accessible and easy form of exercise.  It doesn’t cost anything, no special equipment or training is needed, and people of all levels of fitness can walk.   

Horsham Downs to Hamilton Walking and Cycling Path

Horsham Downs Hall Committee

A highly motivated and determined community worked alongside two councils to create a safe, 4.5km walking and cycling link between Horsham Downs Village and Hamilton.

This walking and cycling route links Horsham Downs and Resolution Drive initially by a 1.4km footpath alongside the road and then by an off road walking and cycling route through a future roading reserve which HCC has granted a License to Occupy.
