To coincide with Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel (24^th March to 4^th April), leading homebuilder Barratt and David Wilson Homes is highlighting the walking and cycling routes around its Wintringham developments.

Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel is a national competition designed to inspire pupils to make active journeys to school, improve air quality and discover how these changes benefit their world.

Registered schools compete to achieve the highest percentage of their pupils walking, using a wheelchair, scooting or cycling to school, with daily prizes to be won.

In Sustrans’ Children’s Walking and Cycling Index in 2024, it was revealed that 10% of primary school trips are carried out on a bike. The vast majority of children also support actions like creating more cycle paths to improve walking and cycling to school.

Residents at Wintringham can take advantage of nine kilometres of walking and cycling routes which allow for an easy, healthy and sustainable way to travel to school.

Alison Raine, Sales Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Northampton, said: “We’re proud to be providing cycle paths at our Wintringham developments, allowing residents to have a safe and easy way to experience their local community and the surrounding areas to the fullest.

“Homebuyers can take a leisurely cycle around the developments, or they can use the routes to commute to work or school, reducing their carbon footprint and helping to live a more sustainable life.

“We would like to wish everyone taking part in Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel by adapting their usual commute to school the very best of luck.”
