Are you ready to Roll & Stroll?

Posted on by Nicy Morgan

Lockdown has been quite a journey. Cycling and walking is more popular than ever so don’t stop now.

Make this your Big Summer of Cycling and Walking. We’re investing into creating a region that supports healthy, greener and safer travelling, to help you continue to roll & stroll.

Whatever your  travel plans? We are here to help you start and enjoy the adventure along the way. There’s never been a better time to encourage staff cycle and walk to work around the West Midlands than right now. We have a range of exciting projects coming over the summer – so, get your roll and get your stroll on!

Sandwell Council is working alongside Transport for West Midlands to offer free business support through the Roll & Stroll for Businesses programme.

Why is this free support available?

This is as part of the response to COVID-19 off the back of the funding allocated by the UK government in the form of cycling and walking improvements in your area.  If you’re business is located in close proximity to the emergency infrastructure you could benefit from this offer.
