Kids, keep the car at home and Walk ‘n’ Talk to school this week

It’s day two of Walk to School Week, and this year’s theme, Walk ‘n’ Talk, is giving rise to a Devon County Council competition to design a cartoon journey to school which features a speech bubble conversation. It all sounds like a great photo-story opportunity to the former ‘Jackie’ readers in the PRSD offices.

Most Devon schools have a Travel Plan, through which they promote sustainable school travel, include the TravelWise award for the school and the Walk the Wizard Way for students.

With air quality is creeping up the political agenda, sustainable travel, especially to school, could well feature more heavily in campaigns.
