Today, Public Health England has released their ‘Everybody Active Every Day’ report which shows that 4 out of 10 (41%) adults aged 40 to 60 in England walk less than 10 minutes continuously each month at a brisk pace.
Responding to the findings, Jason Torrance, England Policy Director at Sustrans, walking and cycling charity, said:
“The findings from “Everybody Active Every Day” is a much needed call to action for Government to prioritise investment in cycling and walking as part of wider support for Local Authorities who urgently need to put in place solutions to tackle the inactivity crisis.
“Increasing investment in cycling and walking that helps local authorities deliver the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy must be a priority for Government.
“Liveable neighbourhoods with proper cycling and walking infrastructure will enable people to embed walking and cycling into their everyday routine and help fight the physical inactivity epidemic this country currently faces.”
