Policies HW1, HW2 & HW3 Heath and Wellbeing, infrastructure and Assessments

Under these policies, we would welcome reference to TfWM’s Health and Transport Strategy and its supporting evidence, along with more emphasis on how improved sustainable transport links can deliver on improvements to people’s health outcomes. For example, through reducing health inequalities, cleaner air, increased active travel levels, safer roads, reduced noise pollution and improved levels of social cohesion. These issues are not currently picked up under this policy but are vital to health outcomes.
