Belfast City Council is proposing to reward local residents to get back outdoors after lockdown by cashing in the time they spend running around local parks for free transport and gym membership.
In an attempt to corral the city s residents to embrace more active lifestyles once Covid restrictions are relaxed, the council is planning to trial an app in mid-April that would pay people between two and six civic dollars for every hour they spend outdoors.
