Throughout the entire month of October, Meerhout urges all residents to take more steps. The municipality emphasizes that everyone is a pedestrian, even those who travel by car or public transport, as a portion of the journey is always covered on foot. The goal is to encourage everyone to walk an extra distance this month, contributing to a healthy and sustainable society.
Residents are invited to fill out the Pedestrian Barometer. Through this barometer, they can share their experience of the environment as a pedestrian, helping the municipality understand what is important to walkers. The more people participate, the more reliable the results and stronger the recommendations will be. Completing the barometer takes about fifteen minutes, and participants have a chance to win a prize. The results will be announced in early 2027.
