This week is National Bike Week.  Sustrans has produced a free resource for parents and teachers to help them organise their own cycling events in Bike to School Week. It can be downloaded from www.sustrans.org.uk/pedalpack.

Primary schools in Thame have completed a travel plan with Oxfordshire County Council and will be taking part in National Walk to School Week (May 19-23).  A travel plan contains actions to replace car journeys with walking, cycling and bus use. The aim is to reduce the school run element of peak hour traffic, and congestion at and around the school gates.  For more information contact Oxfordshire County Council on 01865 810256 or visit www.oxfordshire.gov.uk.
