I stumbled accross this article after a walk today. Social deprivation and access to green space : an Edinburgh investigation by Heather Ferguson. It is really relevant to what I am doing with this blog, i want to document all the local greenspaces in Wester Hailes, show what I like to do in those spaces how we can use these spaces and help keep them a bit tidier.
In addition to these spaces that come withing the 5 minute walk criteria I will be going further afeild. The general recomendation is the average person should walk 10000 steps or 5 miles per day to stay healthy. We are situated right in the middle of some amazing wildlife corridors that I regularly walk with my dog. So I will share some of those maps too.
