PUPILS across Hillingdon are being encouraged to ditch the car drop-off and complete their journey to and from schoolby other means. Hillingdon Council’s school travel and road safety education team is hosting its first active travel movement campaign this year. The campaign aims to reduce reliance on car journeys, while improving the physical and mental wellbeing of youngsters by encouraging more walking, cycling and scooting. Schools are being encouraged to share their active travel journeys across social media to inspire others to do the same, using #ActiveTravelMovementHillingdon. Those in Key Stage 1 and 2 are invited to design their own road safety invention.
