Road Safety Week School Visits From East Riding Council

Pupils across the East Riding will be encouraged to stay safer when they are out on local roads for this year’s Road Safety Week. 

The road safety team at East Riding of Yorkshire Council will be visiting schools to hold a variety of training and awareness sessions during the national week, which runs until Saturday. 

The team is due to hold events in colleges, primary, secondary and nursery schools in Bridlington, Beverley, Preston, Anlaby, Keyingham, Willerby, Brandesburton, Bishop Burton and Holme On Spalding Moor. 

They will include theatre in education, bike safety courses, talks by school crossing patrol staff, immersive cycling reality experiences, scooter training, pedestrian skills and training for safe school journeys. 

Councillor Paul West, the council's cabinet member for environment and transport, said:

“It’s incredibly important that our young people learn how to keep safe when they are out walking or cycling, especially now in darker weather. 

“We don’t want to see any become an accident statistic which is why our road safety team is holding these events at local schools to get the message across.” 

The theme for this year’s Road Safety Week is After the Crash, every road victim counts.

The road safety team has had hard-hitting videos produced to promote the After The Crash theme, featuring interviews with local emergency professionals who have been directly affected by road accidents.
