Russell George: '—two, one. There we are.

Well, actually, we aren't walking and cycling more, which is quite disappointing really. The legislation was brought forward five years ago. Funding is being enabled to local authorities to build better walking and cycling routes. What we have found is that, in most locations, actually, walking and cycling hasn't improved. And when it comes to children walking to school, that figure has actually declined, so that's a really worrying figure, really. Our recommendations to Government are about what they need to do to make the active travel legislation come alive, effectively.'
