Activation is working with those who live, work, study or visit an area to help identify, and break down barriers they face towards choosing to travel by active modes. The aim is to make walking, cycling, or wheeling a viable choice for people, and to empower people so that they feel able to change their behaviours.
Recent Activation Projects
supporting residents
Signposting residents
We have recently produced Correx Boards that signpost individuals to helpful walking, cycling and mental health support.
The designs are starting to be put up across the borough.
If you have any ideas for where to place these boards or would like some for your business, work, or environment setting, please get in touch!

Path Network Improvements
We recently supported 'Friends of Outwood Country Park' with funds to help improve their path network within the park to make walking, wheeling, and cycling more accessible, especially given the Cycling Network Route 6 goes through the park

AWARENESS RAISING
Work with Schools
Recent work with Ribble Drive Primary School to help tackle idling cars on the school lane. Each year group created a leaflet with a powerful image on the front and useful Walking, Wheeling, and Cycling information on the back.
If your school has similar issues, please get in touch!
