The Trailblazers initiative developed by Ayrshire Roads Alliance has arrived in New Cumnock. Around the village you will see lampposts with signs that say 5 or 10. This indicates either a 5 or 10 minute walk to the school from that point.

We are encouraging anyone who doesn’t fully walk/ cycle or scoot to school (where possible) to park and stride from these points.

You can use a phone to scan the QR codes on these signs daily to answer road safety questions.

What’s the purpose? We want to encourage as many people to actively travel to school! This has lots benefits for health and well-being as well as for our planet.

Each day we will carry out a quick survey and record anyone who has actively travelled the whole way or from the designated points around the village. It would be very much appreciated if you can support this initiative as much as you possibly can!
