A scheme which allows groups to apply for up to £7,000 of funding for projects that promote walking and cycling has been launched.

Redbridge council's Community and Local Business Active Travel Grant scheme is to encourage community groups, volunteer groups, charities or local businesses to increase the amount of people walking or cycling in the borough.

The Transport for London (TfL) funded project is looking for submitted ideas to make it easier or more appealing for people to travel sustainably.

Projects could be anything from walking groups to bike repair or cycle parking.

Redbridge council said the scheme was to promote sustainable and active travel, improve air quality and reduce noise.

The application deadline is May 13.
