Feedback for the Beat the Street game has been positive with lots of participants getting in touch to say that they have enjoyed walking and cycling more. The game has inspired local people to get outside, become more active and to leave the car at home wherever possible.

Councillor Robert Brown, the Chair of the council’s Community and Enterprise Resources Committee, said: “Well done to all of the winners and indeed, everyone who has got involved with the Beat the Street game.

“The children of Bothwell have taken to Beat the Street in a really big way with record numbers taking part.

“More people walking or cycling to school also means less congestion at the school gates.

“As well as helping to make positive lifestyle changes, the competitive element also helps people get more active and spend more time in green spaces together.”

Beat the Street Bothwell and Uddingston is being delivered by Intelligent Health on behalf of South Lanarkshire Council. The project is supported by South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture and is funded by South Lanarkshire Council's Climate Emergency Fund.
