A few more images from our launch of Round 5 of the Safe Routes to School programme last week in Leinster House. We are excited to start working with the 83 additional schools to help empower more students to walk, wheel and cycle to school.

This image shows students and ministers outside Leinster House in Dublin at the launch of Round 5 of the Safe Routes to School programme. The students are holding 'Safe Routes to School' signs and some have bicycles, scooters and helmets.

#ClearOurPaths is a campaign from Vision Ireland. It calls on us to create a safer environment for people who are blind or vision impaired by removing: 🚗 Cars parked on footpaths 💩 Dog fouling 🚮 Wheelie bins 🪴 Street furniture that is inappropriately placed 🌳 Overhanging branches.

We love when our work is showcased in news reports, so it was great to see the Skibbereen Safe Routes to School project, developed by Cork County Council, highlighted this week on RTÉ Country Wide! Listen back here: bit.ly/4rEvZay

This image shows letters painted inside colourful triangles in a spiral pattern on a footpath. This is an example of placemaking - making the environment more appealing and fun.
