Safe Routes to Schools Projects First Projects Selected!

This fund also supports safe parking around schools and ensuring that parents can drop and pick up children safely at schools and this programme also looks at congestion at school gates. The improvements to the school commute could range from an upgraded footpath or new cycle lane to a complete reworking of a school’s entrance. For schools that didn’t get through this year also opportunity in future rounds of funding under this new programme.

Well done to the Principals & Teaching Teams, Board of Managements, Parents Associations working with dedicated teams Green Schools in An Taisce & engineers in Roscommon County Council.
