WORCESTER schoolchildren will be extra safe when out and about during the dark winter mornings and nights thanks to a Worcester opticians.
The city's branch of Specsavers in Broad Street has been handing out high-visibility vests to schools in the city and wider area as well as holding assemblies teaching children about the importance of road safety.
Whittington CE Primary School was the latest to benefit from the opticians' generosity when the team visited on Tuesday, December 16.
Branch director Alan Richards said: "We're thrilled to help schools in our local area, especially on an important issue such as children's safety.
"We hope the schools make good use of the vests and it gives parents and teachers peace of mind."
The branch also handed out vests to four other schools in the area this week following last month's Road Safety Week.
