Beat the Street

Beat the Street was trialled in Sinfin last year and was so successful in encouraging residents to increase activity levels that it is being rolled out across Derby. It is a fun activity involving electronic boxes people can log in to using the free fobs.

Participants are encouraged to explore their local area by walking, cycling, running, wheeling or scooting within the game area and there are prizes for the teams who score the most points.

The council say "We know that one of the best things people can do right now for their physical and mental health is to move more and to get out into green space where possible, and Beat the Street really helps people do just that in a safe way.
