The new community leaderboard is open to teams of residents, families, schools, and young people to find virtual tags hidden across the borough to collect the most tags and win prizes.
The tags are hidden in a variety of locations across the borough including parks, footpaths and bridleways, leisure centres, libraries, playgrounds, as well as at historical and cultural sites.
Councillor Catherine del Campo, Cabinet Member for Adult Services, Health, and Housing Services, said: “It’s great to see the third season of Street Tag launch, building on the 64 million steps that were taken by borough pupils and their families during the last two seasons and winning prizes for their schools.
“Supporting residents to live healthier and independent lives is a priority. Street Tag provides an opportunity to explore where you live while clocking up some steps in a fun community activity that sparks a spirit of adventure.”
Street Tag is free to play and is funded by a public health grant as it encourages players to leave their cars behind and instead walk, cycle, run, or roll.
Seun Oshinaike, CEO of Street Tag, said: “Together, we’re building healthier, happier, and more connected communities one tag at a time.
“And the tags are more than just things to collect as they can also give you information about the places they’re hidden in. This means you’re also discovering more about your community in an enjoyable and healthy way that’s also accessible and sustainable.”
Pupils and their families from the first two seasons can also play in season three by simply moving their existing school accounts to the new community leaderboard.
