Mark Belfield is working with Lane End Primary School again this year to help promote Road Safety Week (17-23 November). The theme of this year’s campaign is ‘Look out for each other’. It’s all about consideration: car drivers are being urged to slow down, and pedestrians and cyclists are being encouraged never to take chances and to make sure they can easily be seen.
