WALK this may for national walking month

National Walking Month is now upon us, which is a fantastic initiative from Living Streets that highlights the importance of walking - for people, for places, and for society as a whole.

Walking more improves our health, supports the local economy, helps people get to know their neighbours better, and is how you truly experience a place!
​
Much of our work is to shape places in ways that make everyday walking, cycling, and use of public transport more easy and enjoyable. We also walk lots ourselves: for transport and for fun. John Dales and Christopher Martin, respectively former and current Trustees of Living Streets, will (as previously) each be live-tweeting photos from a Walk to Work, on a day in May. They’ll cover whatever catches their interest: from infrastructure details, to the natural world, to coffee shops.
 
If you’d like to follow them on their walks this year, feel free to follow them on Twitter - @JohnStreetDales + @ChrisCities - and don’t forget to look out for the #WALKTHISMAY hashtag.
