Cllr George Hulme, who represents Saddleworth North, has thrown his weigh behind September’s Walk and Ride Festival. The festival, run by Pennine Prospects, will take place in September and involves a huge range of events all aimed at helping people get active and enjoy the natural environment.

Cllr Hulme said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for residents and visitors to explore Saddleworth with family and friends, whilst also learning about its history.

“I am pleased to see that many of the events across the Park are accessible by public transport, something that can often be a struggle in Saddleworth. Events like these can help highlight how important good public transport links are for connecting people to the outdoors.”
