Spittal Primary School took part in the six week challenge across Cambuslang and Rutherglen and while they didn’t reach the top places on the leaderboards, more than 90% of the school community took part.

And if that wasn’t amazing enough, 97.7% of staff were issued cards. Overall they gained 52,510 points – and had 6336 swipes at beat boxes - translating into 3168 miles travelled sustainably.

To reward this achievement Councillor John Anderson, the chair of the council’s Community and Enterprise Resources and Beat the Street engagement coordinator Raymond Hood went along to the school in Rutherglen to present everyone with a certificate and walking and cycling promotional water bottles.

Councillor John Anderson said: “Every school in the area must be congratulated for the huge interest and enthusiasm they put in to get involved in Beat the Street in their area.

“But the organisers wanted to give this special certificate of achievement to all the children at Spittal Primary School.

“I was delighted to meet some of the children to hand over their certificate and water bottles.

“While there were winners on the leaderboards, everyone who took part and made small but positive lifestyle changes is a winner.

“Congratulations to all at Spittal Primary School for reflecting the true ethos of the game."

The Beat the Street game saw 8535 people take part and together walk, cycling and wheel around the towns of Cambuslang and Rutherglen for points and prizes during September and October, with the aim of encouraging people to spend time exploring the green spaces around them and to get active as a community.

Beat the Street is delivered by Intelligent Health on behalf of South Lanarkshire Council with support from South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture, Smarter Choices, Smarter Places and the Scottish Government.
