Transport Planning Officer Adam Watson getting out and about with his new app.

If you enjoy getting out and about locally, a new free app launched this week might help you get some great prizes, earn rewards and support local businesses.

Take the Right Route aims to help people living and working locally have a more active and sustainable lifestyle through walking, cycling, running or taking public transport.

The new app awards you points as you track your active and sustainable journeys. You then accumulate ‘points’ that allows you to swap them for District Towns Gift Cards accepted locally by more than 100 businesses. There’s also other prizes and rewards you can learn about here.

To download the app and to find out more visit the dedicated Take The Right Route website.
