The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Network Rail on donating 22 reconditioned bikes to St Roch's Primary School in Royston for pupils to use as they announced a new official partnership with the school; understands that the donation of the bikes follows on from work over the summer to build an outdoor learning space and a bike storage area at the school, which is located close to Network Rail's Glasgow maintenance base; notes that pupils also visited Network Rail’s Glasgow Delivery Unit and took part in safety demonstrations; acknowledges that the community partnership was created last year during COP26 when pupils from St Roch’s Primary and Deaf School visited Glasgow Central Station after taking part in a competition to encourage people to live greener; understands that the school produced a video about making Scotland’s railway greener as part of a COP26 competition run by Network Rail and that, while they didn’t win the competition, the video left a lasting impression on the judges, and further understands that it is hoped that the partnership will provide an opportunity to promote safety around the railway.
