Cycle or walk, charity urges parents

PARENTS could save a collective £2 billion a year if they ditched the school run and accompanied children to lessons on foot or by bicycle, says a transport charity. On average, each set of parents could reduce costs by £642 a year if they did not use their car to ferry their offspring to and from school, said Sustrans. Around 11 million journeys a day are made between home and school, while, on average, primary school children live 1.8 miles from school, which is a 25-minute brisk walk, or 15-minute bike ride.

Peugeot 208

Peugeot today unveiled the all-new 208, which will replace the 207 in spring 2012.

"The strength of the 208 lies in its style: it is a real ball of energy," says Peugeot's design director, Gilles Vidal.
