The first set of street design improvements have been installed along Ferry Road in Stromness, as part of the ‘A Safer Route to School’ project.
Local community organisations and Stromness Primary School’s Pupil Council visited the new infrastructure on Tuesday at a celebration event.
The event recognised attendees’ valuable contributions to the project so far, which has been led by Walk Wheel Cycle Trust in partnership with Orkney Islands Council.

‘A Safer Route to School’ seeks to create a more accessible and welcoming Ferry Road where everyone can make safe, enjoyable local journeys on foot or on wheels.
The project has been championed by the Pupil Council and local organisations (including the Parent Council), who have all played a central role in shaping new concept designs for a waterfront that reflects the unique character and identity of Stromness.
