Quote over an autumnal countryside background reads: “Elizabeth continued her walk alone,
crossing field after field at a quick pace, jumping over stiles and springing over puddles with impatient activity, and finding herself at last within view of the house, with weary ankles, dirty stockings, and a face glowing with the warmth of exercise

But despite its promises, this Labour administration has not yet taken any meaningful action. Everyone deserves a place to walk. It shouldn’t be a “nice-to-have”. It has a huge impact on our health, wellbeing and daily lives.
