A scheme to encourage children as young as two years old to walk to school has been launched in West Yorkshire.

The early years walking programme was launched by West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin at an assembly at Lapage Primary School and Nursery in Bradford.

The £55,000 programme aims to encourage families at 30 nurseries and schools to walk to and from school.

Organisers said they wanted families to commit to “healthy travel and positive habits which could last a lifetime”.
