Road Safety and Active Travel to School - 22nd April 2025
Here are the climate-related sections of speeches by MPs during the Commons debate Road Safety and Active Travel to School.
18:46 Brian Mathew (Liberal Democrat)
Giving children the opportunity to safely walk or cycle to school is vital. It not only ingrains healthy habits in children from a young age, bringing them closer to the nature and scenery that can be found in areas such as my constituency of Melksham and Devizes, but it teaches them road safety lessons, fosters independence and helps prevent climate change. Active travel practices in schools can also reduce traffic volume in our towns and villages as the number of cars around schools are reduced, thus minimising both pollution and the risk of road accidents.
