Car Free Day

World Car Free Day, which is celebrated on September 22, encouraging motorists to give up their cars for a day.  Why not get involved?

Have you considered walking to the local park instead of driving to a one further away. You can stop on route for a coffee or ice cream and support your local businesses too! Or catch the train into town for your shopping. At least you won’t have to find a parking spot! Visit friends by travelling on the bus – think of all the time you can relax!

Car-free interventions are a prime example of a comprehensive public health initiative. Seeking an impact in improved road safety, air quality, noise pollution and increased physical activity.

Little changes can make a huge impact!
