Cambridgeshire launches Safer Routes newsletter

Schools across Cambridgeshire will be able to read the latest news from the County Council's Safer Routes to School project in the first edition of the newsletter, ‘Way to go!’.

The newsletter – which will be published twice a year - explains how the project works and gives up-to-date information on schools involved, and what Spike, the Road Safety Hedgehog, will be getting up to.

Recent surveys suggest that the 'school run' accounts for up to 15 per cent of rush hour traffic and most schools in Britain now face the problem of traffic filled streets at school opening and closing times.

"We hope people will find the newsletter fun and informative and that it will give teachers and schools a better idea of the work we do and how we might be able to help," said Rosemary Mullen, Safer Routes to School project officer."
