AN event promoting better health through walking is to be launched in Rossendale.

The Walks for Health leaflet is the latest in a series which aims to boost people's health by going on walks in certain areas.

The Rossendale leaflet follows on from similar schemes in Bacup, Whitworth and Haslingden.

The leaflets give details of a short route around Rossendale town centre and points out sites of local and historical interest.
