ADORNED in hi-vis jackets and light-hearted smiles, Winchester school children have been busy learning about the importance of road safety.

Winnall Primary School students and staff welcomed property services company Osborne who launched a new campaign aimed at improving safer driving around the residential parts of the city.

‘Outside Your School’ has been launched in connection with UK Road Safety seeing pupils march confidently across roads with the help of the Osborne Mascot.

Osborne’s external communications manager, Kate Woods, said: “The idea behind the newly designed Osborne Mascot is to create a character that engage and work in the communities in which we work. We are sponsoring this campaign to increase the awareness of safer driving in and around the Winchester area.”
