Commitments

• Enable and encourage access to open spaces and places for informal recreation, working with developers and parish councils.
• Work with Sport England and regional representatives of Sport’s National Governing Bodies to allow people to take part in and excel at sport.
• Support well-designed active travel infrastructure that facilitates walking and cycling as the natural choice for local travel.
