Stockport Council is encouraging residents to take part in Walk to Work Week which takes place from the 26th April.
The Active Stockport campaign has linked in with the national initiative as a way to encourage residents of all ages to fit in their recommended five times thirty minutes of exercise per week.

The Council has also signed up to the Walkit.com website – www.walkit.com which allows local residents to plan journeys in the borough. They can find out how long their journeys are by foot, how many calories they’ve burnt, step count and carbon saved.

The website can be used like a sat-nav, by entering the postcode or address of the start and finish of the journey. Residents can choose the most direct or least busy route and print off maps.
