The accompanying investment of ?2 billion in walking and cycling over the next five years will make a huge difference, enabling millions more people to enjoy the benefits of active travel. However, for some groups in our society – particularly older people and disabled people – the quality of our pavements can act as a major deterrent to walking. Living Streets research has found that nearly one in three (31%) older adults (aged 65+) are prevented from walking more or at all on their local streets because of cracked and uneven pavements; 48% of older adults say they would walk more if pavements were better maintained.
