Government launches fitness action plan

Do you live within 2.5 miles of Douglas town centre?

If yes, you could find yourself part of the government's newest initiative to get Manx people moving.

It's launching an action plan to encourage people to be more physically active in their daily routine.

The initiative wants to promote those working 9-5 to walk or cycle, rather than simply hopping in their car for a short trip.

To achieve this, the government will focus on creating safe walking and cycling facilities.
