Cabinet Member for Climate Action and Sustainability, Cllr Jennifer Wilson-Marklew said: “We were really encouraged by how popular the scheme was last year and hope that even more people take advantage this time. It’s a really simple way to grab some freebies from your favourite shops all while getting fit and doing your bit for the environment. I encourage everyone to get involved and make the most of the offer while it lasts.”
