The team has been working so hard to get these signs put up outside schools across the County, but the weather warning has meant we can't go out today. We will be back out as soon as possible! In the meantime, for top tips on travel advice go to https://t.co/49gObq6NNg

A huge thanks to @MatherJamie and @RutlandCycling for their help in facilitating an e-bike loan scheme for New Lubbesthorpe residents - a great success!

If we want to convert more everyday journeys to active travel, we must create places which reduce people’s need to travel longer distances.
