Big news for Linmere and Houghton Regis families and residents 📣 📣

Beat the Street is coming to Houghton Regis from 10 June – 8 July, thanks to Sport England funding 🧒 👶 🚶‍♀️‍➡️ 🚶‍➡️ 🏘️ 🏡

This free, fun physical activity game turns the town into a real-life adventure, encouraging people of all ages to walk, cycle and wheel between 32 special Beat Boxes placed half-a-mile apart, tapping their cards as they go, around the area to earn points for their team. The further players travel, the more points they score 🏆 🏆

It’s free to take part in Beat the Street, and it’s open to everyone, encouraging you to exercise from your front door and to clock up the miles within the game play 💯 💯

Primary school pupils, from participating schools, will receive cards before the game starts, while the wider community can collect free cards from 27 May at:

• Houghton Regis Leisure & Community Centre
• Houghton Regis Library

Alternatively, players aged 13+ can choose to participate via a mobile app, available on Google Play and the iOS App Store.

Central Bedfordshire Council have launched a consultation to explore how Linmere should be represented as the community continues to grow within Houghton Regis.

From Central Beds Council:

"Linmere is a major new development that, once complete, will be comparable in size to a small town. Through this consultation, we are seeking views on whether creating a new ward would provide dedicated representation at town council level and help ensure local decision-making reflects the needs of residents and businesses.

There is no decision yet, and we want to hear a range of views before any recommendations are made."

You can use the link here, which we'll also drop into the comments, to ensure it's working for everyone.
