Milton Keynes City Council has launched the Park Smart Competition, and they want local children to design a banner that encourages safe parking, walking, or cycling outside school gates.

Competition time: we’re asking primary school children to design a banner that shows why it’s important to park safely outside their school (or to walk or cycle instead if possible). It’s part of our wider work to keep roads around schools safer. The winning banner will be shared with all schools to display at the school gates, and there’s prizes too. Find out more including how to enter: https://www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/highways/road-safety/park-smart-banner-competition
