BROMLEY schoolchildren won an award for being model pupils on their way to school.

Children from Eden Park Primary School, in Upper Elmers End Road, Beckenham, won the competition to build a model for a road safety competition to demonstrate how roads around their school could be safer and encourage fellow pupils to walk to school using the safest routes.

Schools across Bromley took part in the competition, which was run by the council's road safety unit and sponsored by Churchill Insurance.

Senior road safety officer Angus Culverwell said: “We want to make the routes to school safer.”
