Transcript

00:00I'm expecting everyone in Burnley to know what Beat the Street is because

00:03Beat the Street, Burnley is the home of Beat the Street.

00:06It's a game that turns the town into a playground.

00:09Everyone can play, every adult, every child is invited.

00:13Starts the 14th of May, there's going to be a hundred odd beatboxes,

00:17like one you see behind today.

00:19They're going to be put on street furniture and in parks and in the town centre,

00:22by primary schools, by the canal and riverside, all across Burnley.

00:2714th of May, you get a card, you tap it, it starts your journey.

00:32You tap a second one, it completes one trip and you get ten points.

00:36You can keep playing, keep getting points.

00:38Those points go on your own leaderboard, on your team leaderboard and for the whole town.

00:44Last time in 2023, we had 12,500 people play, I think.

00:49It's absolutely magnificent.

00:51So hopefully, weather stays something like this,

00:53we're hoping more people will come out and play Beat the Street and Burnley.

00:56Today, we're here at the launch of Burnley Outdoor Town.

01:00Your entire town has realised the value and the assets that you've got in the town.

01:05We've just seen a video of all the amazing parks, the waterways,

01:09you can outside, all the mountains around.

01:12It's an incredible venue and that is really good for your health.

01:15There's a huge amount of evidence now that shows spending time outdoors,

01:19in green spaces or blue spaces and being active is one of the best things you can do,

01:23whether you're a child or an adult at any age.

01:26So yes, you're taking control of your health and by doing it with other people,

01:30you're encouraging everybody and creating this incredible outdoor town atmosphere.
