Walking to School

Walking to School Walking is a great way to improve your fitness, protect the local environment and save yourself some money. Walking is one of the safest physical activities - there is very little risk of injury and it doesn't hurt.

Blackpool Council encourages parents and children to walk to and from school in an effort to reduce peak time congestion on Blackpool's roads.

Blackpool Council's Travel and Road Safety team promote regular Walk to and from School campaigns to encourage children and parents to walk whenever possible.

During the campaigns the team visit primary schools across Blackpool to walk with pupils and parents.
