A BRIGHT-EYED and bushy-tailed friend has been giving hundreds of children tips on road safety.
Safety Squirrel has been heading up the Middlesbrough Council road safety team mission to tell children how to take care when crossing roads. The squad is distributing 1,650 bags containing road safety information and activities to pupils in school reception classes.
Road safety officer Ros Pluck said: "It is essential for children from an early age to begin developing sound road safety skills. The bags contain information to help parents pass on this information to their children and fun activities."
