Adult physical activity (health and wellbeing needs in South Tyneside)
Unmet needs
- There is no strategic plan as a borough to systematically work towards increasing population level physical activity or decreasing population level inactivity levels.
- There is a highlighted gap in the coordination of community wide physical activity interventions that focus on everyday activities, namely walking and cycling.
- There is no current provision for a facility that brings together the physical activity opportunities available throughout South Tyneside in one place.
- There is a need to increase the awareness of the opportunities that exist to use parks and open spaces for informal physical activity
