Beat the Street interactive game has started
 There is still time for Merton residents to sign up!
People of all ages are invited to take part in the interactive game that is going to be happening all over our Borough for six weeks. Beat the Street Merton starts next week and will be on from Wednesday 15 March to Wednesday 26 April. Beat Boxes (sensors) will be placed on lampposts around Merton for the duration of the game. Primary school pupils will be provided with everything they need for a game in their school, if it’s participating. Other Merton residents can pick up their contactless card from distribution points, including libraries.
