A POLICE scheme to help primary children to become good citizens has been launched in Durham and Chester-le-Street.

Kids on Track, a project established by Durham City Police, has recently announced a new sponsor in ADT Fire and Security, and will continue to set youngsters safety-related tasks in the school term.

Tim Thompson, the Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator with the Community Safety Department, said: "It is a fun learning programme where children are given the opportunity to take part in new activities, try new things, learn about keeping safe and how to help people.
