Wiltshire: Street Tag is coming to Wiltshire!

 

Street Tag is an interactive app which you can use to explore your local community and to understand more about your health and physical wellbeing. You'll be able to download and start using it from Monday 29 January.

The app allows you to scan virtual tags at locations across Wiltshire to record the distance that you have walked, cycled, run, or used a wheelchair between the locations. You will collect points for visiting Street Tag locations and you can compete as an individual, team or with your school to win prizes.

Activity trackers and blood pressure monitors will be available to use alongside the app. These are available to borrow for free from Trowbridge or Chippenham libraries as well as the North and South mobile libraries.
