Infrastructure plans for connecting local communities have been developed and are now out for viewing. Find out why, how and have your say.

• What makes places good for walking and for living in? Come and find out!
• Contribute to the discussion and create a louder Walking Voice for Greater Manchester
• You’ll be joining walkers, walking agencies, community organisations, population health and primary care specialists, local authority activity specialists, active transport policy and planners, and environmentalists

Those attending will hear about the latest version of the Bee Network map and the principles behind the network across Greater Manchester. Attendees will also have the opportunity to take part in workshops exploring different aspects of the plans.

This event is open for anyone with an interest in enabling people to walk more in their local community, whether that be to the park, to work, to school or for the simple enjoyment of walking.
