Rodney District Council has put out a walking and cycling strategy

 I do not know whether you and our fellow Rodney Greens are aware that
 Rodney District Council has put out a walking and cycling strategy and are
 calling for submissions.

Submissions close on 13th July 2007.

 Walking and cycling strategy -- Rodney Cncl calling for submissions by July 13.

 The strategy can be accessed through their website www.rodney.govt.nz
 It is listed under "Plans and Projects". A submission form can be printed
 off the website.

 This is of course a topic which we all have very much at heart, so may I
 suggest that you spread the news through our mailing/contact list and
 encourage our green members and supporters to send in submissions?

 On a first reading I feel that the strategy deserves all the support it
 can get, though the timing of the implementations and the scope of the
 projects is very timid indeed. It seems like a "token" strategy at this
 point, but it is a move in the right direction which hopefully can gather
 momentum as the crucial need for making walking and cycling more
 accessible and safer becomes more apparent.

 Kind regards.
