The Bury Walking and Cycling Forum gives residents, community groups, those who work in Bury, schools and colleges the chance to have their say.

The next forum takes place online on Thursday 24 March from 6pm to 7.15pm.

It is organised by the council’s health and wellbeing team and aims to increase the number of people of all ages walking, cycling and moving more in Bury.

This will contribute towards the Bury Moving Vision of getting 75% of the Bury population moving more by 2025, and supports climate targets for improving air quality and reducing CO2 emissions produced by traffic and travel in Bury.

The agenda includes on the Bury Transport Strategy, School Streets, and the GM Ageing Active Travel scheme.
