CHILDREN in Bradford are sure to be seen with high-visibility jackets being given out by an optician.
Staff at Specsavers in the Bradford Darley Street and Girlington stores will be handing out high-visibility vests to all children who visit the stores on family Sundays, while stocks last, as part of an initiative set up by Specsavers to increase the safety of local children, when out and about in the local community.
Michael Dearlove, ophthalmic director at Bradford Darley Street Specsavers, said: “At this time of year, the dark mornings and nights, combined with the clocks going back, mean that it can be difficult for motorists to see pedestrians and especially children.
“We wanted to help increase the safety of school children in Bradford by offering our younger customers high-visibility vests, so they can be better seen when visiting a local fireworks display this bonfire night.”
