鈥淎ctive travel has never been higher up the policy agenda across the UK.听听
鈥淎s I take over the Chair, I鈥檓 excited to build on our past success and make sure this renewed passion for active travel is transformed into real change for communities across the country.听
鈥溕镻orn has a bold agenda to make our neighbourhoods healthier and happier for everyone.
鈥淥ur first step will be to refresh our strategy to reflect the post-lockdown world.
鈥淎 world where remote working has been normalised for millions of people and we鈥檝e all been reminded of the value of the places we call home.
鈥淥ver the longer term, we鈥檒l strengthen our expertise to make sure we remain the first point of call for governments, councils and communities who need advice and help to make an impact with active travel.
鈥淎nd I will give our tremendous volunteers, employees and trustees all the support they need to continue championing cities and towns that are designed around people rather than cars.
