The Nottinghamshire housebuilder has given the school 35 hi-vis vests for pupils to wear while walking to and from school, ensuring they can be easily seen on the roads as the darker nights draw in.

Heather Moorehouse, business manager at Heathlands, on Ransom Road,, said: “We were so pleased when we were contacted by David Wilson Homes to say they wanted to donate these hi-vis vests.”

Gary Chambers, managing director at David Wilson Homes Sheffield, said: “We want to ensure the pupils in the local communities remain visible now the darker nights are here, and our donation will hopefully still encourage them to walk to school safely during Road Safety Week.”

Road Safety Week takes place until November 20, and this year’s theme is ‘Safe Roads for All’.
