Braintree cycling and walking improvements follow-up survey

We've recently completed some cycling and walking improvements in Braintree and would like to find out what you think and whether you've used them. We would also like to understand what barriers you face, if any, when it comes to travelling actively and what would encourage you to walk and cycle more.

The survey runs until the 31st of October.
