Our Map Grab happened yesterday, and we had great fun meeting the public and some of the project's followers. We has a small stall at Mountain Warehouse, who had kindly agreed to host us. Their shop in the High Street, nearly opposite the Town Hall, has a comprehensive range of hiking and walking gear. Thanks for visiting our Walk to Work Week stall, and chatting with us; we have some good ideas for how we can take our project forward in 2010."Colchester Walking Map" is already proving popular. There are two leaflets at present, covering North Colchester and East Colchester. Both sheets include North Station, and East also includes the town centre. The maps fold out to A3 size, and there's lots of information and links to further travel and health information.
The map is the result of teamwork. Design work was funded by North East Essex Primary Care Trust, recognising that encouraging people to become more active can help address the growing obesity problem, and the extra demands for health care that come with that. The designers were Steer Davies Gleave, working on information supplied by "Colchester Walk to Work", "Colchester2020 Travel Plan Club" and "Walk Colchester". The printing was funded by the Travel Plan Club, to help our community to reduce traffic congestion and our carbon footprints, and to contribute to the wellbeing agenda.
Contact us if you would like a copy of the maps, or pick them up at the Visitor Information Centre at the corner of High Street and Queen Street.
