That this House recognises that walking can improve heart health and blood pressure, burn calories and increase metabolism, boost mood and enable people to discover their local community; notes that Living Streets National Walking Month takes place during May 2016 and is asking everyone to #Try20 and fit 20 minutes of walking into their daily routine; and calls on the Government to support walking by ensuring meaningful numerical targets for general walking and walking to school are included in the final Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy when it is published.
