Can I follow up about active travel and greenways? The Minister spoke about people feeling safe. Obviously, we saw the terrible tragedy that befell Ashling Murphy. I was reflecting on the security aspect of greenways earlier today. If people are to use greenways, they must feel safe. Obviously, councils are rolling out most of the greenways. What is being done in terms of the planning and design of greenways in terms of installing cameras and making areas safe because that is the one core element in terms of encouraging people to engage in active travel - walking, running or cycling? People must feel safe. Has policy changed in this area? Are there areas the Minister can change or put resources into in order that when a local authority is building anything relating to active travel, a core element of that must be the provision of a safe environment for the public using it? The acid test for me is whether a man, woman or family - obviously women are particularly vulnerable - feels safe.
