This document contains information about active travel improvements planned for the Cairngorms National Park, as part of the Heritage Horizons: Cairngorms 2030 programme. The Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) is working with local communities to improve infrastructure and public spaces in Badenoch and Strathspey villages, making it easier and safer for people to get around without cars, including walking, cycling, and using wheelchairs. A survey is underway to gather local views and ideas, with an initial focus on five villages. The benefits of active travel highlighted include boosting the economy, reducing carbon emissions, improving health, promoting equality, and increasing safety. The engagement process includes community events, a website for feedback, and considering an Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA). Potential funding is sought through Places for Everyone (a funding mechanism administered by Sustrans Scotland), which aims to create safer, more attractive, and healthier places by increasing trips made by walking, cycling, and wheeling for everyday journeys. The document also discusses traffic calming measures, path construction materials, accessibility considerations, and specific proposed interventions for Boat of Garten, including improvements to Deshar Road and the pathway to Drumuillie, with maps and examples provided.
