Primary promotes less-polluting travel

SCOOTER safety sessions and bicycle checks were among the activities held at a school for Clear Air Day.

Farndon Fields Primary, in Market Harborough, hosted the event, with support from Leicestershire County Council's sustainable travel team, to promote how walking, cycling, scooting and wheeling contribute to tackling air quality.

On the morning of Clean Air Day, on Thursday, nearly 70 per cent of surveyed families chose to walk, scoot or cycle to school.
