GM Moving have submitted evidence to the APPG for Cycling and Walking as part of their inquiry into #ActiveTravel and #SocialJustice.
We proudly outlined examples from GM which create the conditions for more people to choose to walk, wheel, and cycle.

On our walk down to the river Irwell yesterday, we managed to catch a glimpse of the Flying Scotsman at East Lancs Railway Station. Down by the river the group learnt about local plants and flowers and admired some beautiful yellow irises. Thankfully we avoided any heavy showers.

Fascinating study from Denmark showing the societal costs of osteoporosis are as high as those for cancer. The report also notes the cost effectiveness of fracture liaison services, which aren’t widely available in 🇩🇰 . 💪🦴

Osteoporosis is as costly to society as cancer
A new study from the University of Southern Denmark shows that the disease costs Danish society 15 billion Danish kroner annually. Prevention could significantly reduce the economic burden.
