Midlothian Council has provided this guidance for walking or cycling to school.
Physical Distance Guidance
With so many people walking and cycling during the lockdown phase of the Coronavirus crisis, we are keen to build even more on our pre-crisis great active travel figures! Whilst it may be tempting to travel by car, fresh air and exercise are vital and we want to continue to keep the areas around Midlothian schools as safe as possible.
Please walk or cycle to school if you can; if you do need to travel by car, please park around 5/10 mins away from school and have a short walk in.
Thank you for your anticipated support with this aim.
Guidance and Good Practice
Summary
In summary, please just use common-sense and keep yourself and your friends and family safe whilst getting this important exercise and fresh air on the way to school, keeping our school gates as safe as possible.
Thank you for your help and enjoy your walk/cycle to school!
If you do have any concerns/ideas that you’d like to share, please contact Gillian.Bathgate@midlothian.gov.uk
