We've partnered with Street Tag to enhance the wellbeing of local residents

Date Added: 29/07/2021

We've announced a new initiative to encourage active lifestyles and help residents to discover and explore their local areas, parks and green spaces by walking, running or cycling more.

Launching on 1 August 2021, Street Tag is a fun, free, family-friendly game that enables players to collect points by using their smartphones to scan virtual tags. The tags can be found in various locations across Central Bedfordshire, including in areas surrounding parks and open spaces, libraries, leisure centres and other areas of interest. The app will log any activity completed by participants, and it will show on a range of competitive community and school leader boards.

Schools will have the opportunity to compete in a local Central Bedfordshire Schools Street Tag League, while residents in small groups of six or less will compete against other families or groups on a Community Leader Board.

Leader boards are active for 14-16 weeks and within that time participants can compete with each other to be top of their leader board and earn rewards for their efforts. Then the fun starts again.

Find more information about Street Tag on our website. Download the app on the Play Store, and App Store. You can also find Street Tag on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
