I love being outdoors, walking and running. I work as part of GM Moving to encourage people to walk more every day across Greater Manchester. Views are my own.

Our #PedestrianPound research shows that that people who walk or wheel to do their shopping spend more money and pedestrianised high streets see bigger sales. Could walking be the answer to struggling high streets in 2025?

@evefrancisholt It sounds purrfect under such conditions. Sending love to you and your family. Xx

Wow, just four minutes of daily exertion, such as quick walking or wheeling for the bus, or climbing the stairs, can halve risk of a heart attack for women.

Moving a bit more everyday day really can make a big difference. https://t.co/cgee4tBgTm

What can Peak Park planners do for walkers? They are consulting on a new Local Plan that will judge all planning applications that could impact on the places we love to walk. Ramblers want plans to protect rights of way and help link people with nature. https://t.co/EdwSxBEeA3

Whoa! This woman summarized the horror and tragic consequences of the American people electing Trump about as well as I've heard. 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👇

[Sheffield City Council @SheffCouncil]

Would you know how to use a Dutch-style roundabout if approaching one?

Sheffield is about to see the first of its kind in the city open up. To make sure everyone is safe on our roads, we've put this video together to explain how they work.

[Eve Holt @evefrancisholt]

This is really powerful. Do watch.

We’ve all got a role to play to unite people, communities and society and eradicate hate. ❤️

Footballers, along with other sports people and celebrities, have an even greater role to play given their platform and influence. It’s great to therefore see the next generation of footballers digesting stories and messages like this.

[Eve Holt @evefrancisholt]

Brilliant news to start the day. @LouHaigh⁩ is moving fast & fixing things. 🙏
The Labour government will invest “unprecedented levels of funding” in walking, wheeling and cycling as a critical part of plans to improve health and inequality. https://t.co/e7B0TnnRog

Lovely to be able to pop down to Gorse Hill Park for @TraffordCouncil Ride and Stride Festival. We made full use of the brilliant new Talbot Road crossing to get there and back safely 🚲

[Eve Holt @evefrancisholt]

Great to see pedestrian waiting times at crossings reduced on the @BeeNetwork.

A quick and cost neutral way to improve walking and wheeling journeys - for happier, healthier, greener streets and lives. 🐝🐝🌱🌳❤️❤️ #ActiveLivesforAll @GMMoving
