Ormiston pump track review
Dear Parents & Pupils
We are keen to better understand the impact that the Ormiston Pump Track has had on the lives of local people across East Lothian.
If you have been to Ormiston Park Pump Track, we would love you to complete the Ormiston Pump Track Consultation here:- Ormiston Community Pump Track – East Lothian Council – Citizen Space (eastlothianconsultations.co.uk)
Ibike
This year, your child’s school will be participating in Sustrans’ I Bike project. Your child’s school might have also participated during the previous academic year.
I Bike delivers a variety of classroom-based activities and events. These include led walks and rides, Dr Bike, Bikeability, Active Travel Breakfast and bike maintenance.
This parent and carer survey is collecting data for the purposes of evaluating and monitoring the I Bike project. We are interested to see the impact it has had on you and your child and your thoughts on what could make active travel easier for your child.
Active travel is when a journey is made by being physically active, such as walking, wheeling, cycling and scooting/skating.
The results may be used to influence and support further local and national funding bids and help define the health value of physical activity and active travel. It will help to understand and continue to improve the project. Specific comments on local infrastructure will be noted but are beyond the scope of I Bike.
If you want to find out more you can contact us at IBikeMonitoring@sustrans.org.uk.
