• 257 participated in the survey commented within or near the zone boundary, of which 75 % are local residents.
• 67% of individuals currently feel mostly negatively/negatively on problematic locations where transport issues are identified. 
• Issues in ‘Road traffic & Safety’ category has been voted the most notable concern at Walton - with Busy Road traffic and High Traffic Speed being the top issues.
• Other notable concerns include quality of pavements, inadequate cycle infrastructures, poor public realm, and the lack of greenery.
