Ripon primary school pupil’s winning road safety sign installed on new housing development
A pupil at a primary school in Ripon has seen his winning road safety sign design take pride of place on a new housing development in the city.
Arthur, 10, from Moorside Primary School in Ripon, won a competition hosted by Taylor Wimpey North Yorkshire aimed at promoting road safety.
The initiative encourages visitors and new homeowners to drive safely on the streets in and around its Fountains Walk development.
Claire Rowett, Headteacher at Moorside Primary School, said: “Partnering with Taylor Wimpey on the competition has given our pupils a great opportunity to learn about the importance of road safety, which we are very grateful for.
“We are so proud of Arthur and pleased to see his design now installed at Fountains Walk.
"The competition has highlighted how important it is to encourage parents and other drivers to think twice about the way they drive.”
Nicki Hope, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey North Yorkshire, added: “It was great to see the pupils of Moorside Primary School taking an active role to help encourage drivers to slow down in and around Fountains Walk.
“We were really impressed by the creativity of all the pupils who entered the competition, with Arthur demonstrating a real understanding of how to get his speed awareness message across with his design.”
