.Chris Boardman & his team Active Travel England are working to change how we all travel & move.

Active travel isn’t just a transport option, it’s an opportunity to move more & move better –helping us to better connect our places & improve the health & wellbeing of our communities.

The Bee Network is about connecting people and places, making it easier and safer for people to walk, wheel or cycle

Mayor Andy Burnham joined Active Travel Commissioner Dame Sarah Storey to see a scheme in development in the borough of Rochdale, that will do exactly that.

Welcomed Active Travel England to Manchester today. The ride out was very valuable, showing what I would call “the good”, “the underway” & “the needs more work/another solution”.

Building more of “the good” & faster is vital so the region achieves a better balance of mode share.
