Pupils at a primary school promoted road safety as part of a national campaign.

Students at Lavender Primary School, in Lavender Road, Enfield, took national road safety week to their hearts as they learnt about the hazards of the road.

The school hosted a presentation by Enfield Borough Council’s road safety team, who talked to children about avoiding accidents, keeping safe on the roads and the green cross code.

Councillor Chris Bond, cabinet member for environment said: “It is incredibly important to teach children road safety from the youngest possible age.

“Our Road Safety in schools programme reached 7,785 children during Road Safety Week, but with 24 people a day killed or seriously injured on foot or bikes in the UK it’s clear there is a lot of work yet to do.

“National Road Safety Week is a great opportunity for us to tell people about what we are doing and we hope many more schools will be encouraged to organise a presentation for their children.”
