To mark the launch of the project, Councillor Robert Benham, Havering’s Cabinet Member for Education, Children and Families, joined pupils, families and school staff.  He attended assembilies and the cutting of the ribbon.

Councillor Benham, said: “We want all our residents, both children and adults across the borough, to breathe cleaner air and live long and healthy lives.

“Our Havering Climate Action Plan Challenge is asking us all to do something however small, to help the environment and be healthier and more active.

“The walking zone maps will help towards our aim of getting as many children as possible in Havering to walk or cycle to and from school. 

"For those less able, we’re encouraging them to use public transport or school buses safely."
