Donation boosts safety

GREENACRES youngsters can ride to school in safety thanks to a donation from the National Cycling Academy.

To celebrate the success of the Bikeability Cycle Training, run by the NCA on behalf of the council’s road safety team, the NCA handed out helmets to pupils at St Anne’s RC Primary and Greenacres Primary schools.

Children are required to wear helmets during training sessions leaving some unable to join in as they didn’t own one of their own.
