Leisure & the Countryside

Everyone should have access to opportunities for leisure, recreation and culture, but we need to ensure that the environment doesn't suffer as a result. Transport is one of the biggest contibutors to climate change gas emissions. By taking part in leisure and cultural activities closer to home, we can build our appreciation of our community, environment and our world.
