#BlueMonday might be a myth, but poor #MentalHealth is something many of us struggle with. There’s no easy fix but studies show that walking and wheeling can help. Be kind to yourself today (and always). ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

A new Low Traffic Vision would help create safe, attractive streets where people can breathe clean air and discover the many benefits of walking and wheeling 💚.
🚨Our members are urging the government to set out new Low Traffic Vision in 2025! Let's develop an Integrated National Transport Strategy which provides real choices in how people make day-to-day journeys 😎
