DETAILS of three schemes providing paths to Darlington schools were revealed yesterday.
The borough council has secured £100,000 from the Government for the schemes.
There will be a link from Hummersknott School to Cleveland Terrace via the improvement of the pathway on Cemetery Lane. The existing track surface will be improved and a crossing installed on Carmel Road North, at the end of Cemetery Lane.
A link running from the Red Hall estate to the River Skerne and a pathway from Hurworth to Neasham are also planned.
The latter will improve safety for pupils travelling to schools in Hurworth.
Nick Wallis, the council's cabinet member for transport, said: "The improvement works and new routes will provide pupils, and members of the public, with enhanced and safer pathways to use to get to and from school."
