Getting around your local area without using your car is a great way to build movement into your day.

Active Travel
Our ambition at Active Blaby is to improve the way people travel in Blaby District. We are passionate about saving you time and money, whilst also helping to improve the environment and your health, by offering you alternative ways to travel. We work with Schools, Businesses and Communities within the district to promote the benefits of more green ways of traveling such as walking and cycling.
Just by making a few small changes to the way you travel can make a huge impact on the environment by lowering pollution levels and reducing congestion. Rather than sitting in traffic on your commute to work, why not hop on the bus to help save the pennies or jump on a bike which in turn can also help you to maintain a healthy weight and keep active. Or, why not consider working from home occasionally where you can relax and increase productivity.
Blaby District Council are working with DEFRA on a project specifically to improve air quality in Glenfield and Enderby called Countdown to Clean Air. This project will include working with schools, businesses and community groups in those areas to try and change behaviours to more sustainable methods of travel.
