New Walk To School Route launched
Nick was joined this week by children and parents at Kingston Park Primary School, and a couple of Newcastle Falcons, to launch a new Walk to School route.
The route, which is approximately 500 yards, allows parents to park at the Falcons Rugby Ground and walk their children to and from school, rather than drive through the winding roads through the nearby estate. It is hoped that the walking route will cut down on traffic around the school, which is heavily congested, as well as encourage children to take more exercise.
Nick said: "It took us about 5 minutes to walk the route from the school to the rugby ground, and I would encourage parents and children to start doing this regularly. It will keep cars out of the estate, reducing traffic and easing the pressure on residential properties."
