Cllr Pat Cumbers, the council’s portfolio holder for people and communities said: “Let’s Get Moving Melton day is the perfect opportunity for individuals and families to come together to ‘move more, more often’ and have fun trying out what Melton has to offer when it comes to physical activity, health and wellbeing.
“I hope everyone who is interested in starting to be more active or curious about the activities available attends the event on July 9 and has fun at Let’s Get Moving Melton Day.
