    In progress

    Right now, we need your help to create the Local Travel Points that will be installed for the pilot. Your ideas and feedback will help to shape our work with Trueform to design and manufacture each point. This stage will involve surveys, drop-in sessions and workshops.

    Three Local Travel Points will open in Halesowen. The pilot will last for one year. The pilot will involve a series of events, promotions and training sessions so that you can discover how Local Travel Points can help you to save money, be active and love where you live.
