Captivating and inspiring. Let’s make Sheffield @theoutdoorcity a Marmot Place where everyone can flourish! @SHU_AWRC @HallamHWLS
It was a pleasure to meet with Sir @MichaelMarmot yesterday for an inspirational discussion about South Yorkshire's ambition to eradicate health inequalities within a generation
A big thank you to Prof. Alan Walker @felly500 @lucyincommunity & @SpeareRuth for joining us

Removal of the A61 Penistone Rd cyclepath near Herries Rd to build an Aldi and more drive thru’s… How does this fit within our city goals and SY’s Year of Active Travel? 🤷🏽♀️
Please spend a few minutes supporting our objection to the removal of the cycle path on Penistone Road!

What does the place you want to live look like?
Great question to kick off #cyclecounty2023 from @Chris_Boardman
Pleasure to discuss the value of monitoring and evaluation and share some top tips today. I’m keeping a close eye on the timer 👀 whilst wondering how to bring the conversation back to biscuits… 🤔😉

Interesting day at the #SYTransportSummit connecting with some lovely, passionate people inc our AT Commissioner @Ed_Clancy. Mayor Oliver acknowledged a favourite phase of #sportinresearch ‘if do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got’- time for a bold vision!
Closing remarks from @SouthYorksMayor @olivercoppard...
"We can’t carry on doing what we’ve been doing and expect different results. Change is hard, but change is what we need."

Brilliant 🤣
Taking to the wife for the first time in a while …… shocked to hear she no longer works at Woolworths. #SocialMediaDown
This is brilliant @BTSSheffield. Good work Sheffield @theoutdoorcity. Let’s get these records smashed and build activity into everyday life 👏
Our biggest game to-date started across Sheffield yesterday and in the first 24hrs over 32,000 people are taking part. This is what a day looks like when 32,000+ people walk, roll, cycle, run and scoot around their city👇 @Intelligent_Hlt @BTSSheffield
Love the concept, love the game, love the enthusiasm. I know the clue is in the title, but it’s a shame that so much activity is on the ‘streets’ rather than encouraging cycling, running, walking or scooting in our amazing green spaces @BTSSheffield @theoutdoorcity @WildSheffield
It was a pleasure to speak at this AWRC event last week with @DameSarahStorey, @PeteZanzottera and @stevehaake. If you missed it, you can now watch via YouTube...

Megs and I always enjoy Sheffield’s wonderful outdoors @theoutdoorcity
Let’s make it easier for people to walk and cycle safely! The Covid situation provides the opportunity to re-think what we consider to be ‘normal’ (and acceptable)
