• IMPROVING WALKING IN MONMOUTHSHIRE

  Tuesday 30th October 2012

  We’re pleased to be carrying out more work on walking in Monmouthshire.  Following our pilot study into healthy walking for GP referrals in Abergavenny, we’re working with volunteers to establish similar groups in Chepstow and Monmouth.  We’re working with the Council to produce route cards for health walks that are easy to use by non-map-readers.
