Schools across England are set to benefit from new funding to get more children walking to school, Transport Minister Chris Heaton-Harris has announced. Living Streets has been awarded £1 million to boost the number of children walking to school. Its ‘Walk to School Outreach Programme’ – which has already generated four million new walking trips – is being extended to roll out further measures to support walking.
This includes tackling the barriers which may prevent children and their families choosing to walk to and from school, as well as providing schools with classroom materials and access to local coordinators who can help schools get new walking initiatives up and running.
