1) Sustrans officers plot the sites – LAs tell us where they are; the public tell us about schemes; we see them on the ground; some LAs send scheme list 2) Promotion of the survey happens locally – use local media, share the link ‘on-the-ground’; a QR code is available for use 3) Sustrans collates data – we have a couple of automated dashboards the output response details; typically when 100 responses are collected 4) How and when we share data is up to local connections – Sustrans officers who liaise with your LA 5) Also a repository for case studies – photos, news feeds, LA web pages, etc, can be linked to the Space to Move site plot entry Space to Move process…
