Health
The health of the individual and of the community is paramount, and begins with food security. It includes having proper nutrition, appropriate exercise, preventative steps and adequate treatment capacity for local and wider emergencies.
While rural areas often have poorer access to hospitals and General Practitioners, there are other steps to sustainably improve the health of a community eg. encouraging more exercise say with walking and cycling; working outdoors say on growing your own food, where you have control over the fertilisers and pesticides; regular community meetings and meals to help prevent feelings of isolation and depression.

educating council about cyclists
Newcastle Council should get rid of the deadly "bike picture lanes" which are causing cars to squeeze too closely past cyclists. Stop getting annoyed by cars:
Unsign-posted "bike picture lanes" are too narrow & Road Rules 153 & 247 advise not to ride in them. They are car-door-opening-death lanes. When passing parked cars, 30m beforehand, check for cars, then move into the next lane safely, away from door opening zone. critical-mass.info : Bike celebration rides : 1st Friday,Monthly,Civic Park,6pm : groups.yahoo.com/group/Critical_Mass_Newcastle
