ALT Quote card which reads: “One of the most effective ways we can improve the nation’s health is to make exercise an easy part of daily life. “Whether it’s for going to school, work, the shops or just out and about for some fresh air, if it is easy and feels safe to get around under your own steam, then we will stave off risks of heart disease, diabetes and cancer without having to think about it. That is how we sustainably improve health of our population, a method already well proven by many other countries. “Through Active Travel England the Government is working with councils across the country to ensure investment in walking, wheeling and cycling consistently gives people what they need to try travelling differently. In turn, this will help make our towns, cities and villages happier, healthier places to live.” - Chris Boardman CBE, National Active Travel Commissioner
