Gemma Bridge

Running Mayor of Leeds

I plan to focus on 3 areas: 1) Enable a wider diversity of voices to be heard - Running/ walking is for everyone. Voices will be heard though community engagement events & discussions with existing running networks. 2) Make running/ walking safer – Safety is essential. I will encourage activities like reducing litter, lighting paths & setting up running buddies. 3) Encourage workplaces to make running/ walking easier for all staff – Running/ walking should be central parts of our lives, workplaces need to facilitate that. I will advocate for showers in the office, and support the development of lunchtime run clubs, & workplace couch to 5k programs. I will engage with the community to identify the best ways to approach these priority areas.
