Local Walks
Pedometer Challenge 2010
 As the weather's getting better, why not get out and enjoy some of the open spaces in and around the city? And if walking is something you don’t normally do, there’s an opportunity to take part in a city-wide challenge to encourage residents to walk more to improve their health.
Walking is an enjoyable and easy way to include regular exercise into a daily routine. We are offering a free pedometer and walking pack to those who are willing to sign up and take part in the Pedometer Challenge 2010.
Just tell us your pledge and how walking will help you become healthier in 2010 (maximum 100 words) and send with your name, address and email (if you have one) to Pedometer Challenge 2010, Room 501, Kings House, Grand Avenue, Hove, BN3 2LS or email journeyon@brighton-hove.gov.uk
Twitten maps
 Over the last year, the council has worked with residents in Patcham, Hollingbury and Withdean to create a special map of the twittens in their area.
'Twitten' is a local Sussex word which means cut-through or short-cut which is usually a narrow path between two walls or hedges, usually linking one street with another. Residents came together to provide details of the local twittens in their area and made it possible to create a special map. The map is available as a pdf download and from libraries in Hollingbury and Patcham.
