Living Streets has supported the Friends of Chippenham Gardens since its inception. They came to some of our meetings to help us plan and get support from the council and other stakeholders. When we held a Zumba party, Living Streets were talking to people about walking and it was such encouragement, I felt truly inspired.

I signed a pledge card and took a fridge magnet and started walking from my home to do my shopping instead of taking the bus. I realised not only was I getting plenty of exercise with my shopping trip walks clocking in around the two miles marker, but I am able also able to save £2.60 per journey on my Oyster Card which is a great saving.

Recently, I someone said that since I’ve started walking more, all the exercise makes me look really great!
