PUPILS who looked set to miss out on getting free Ordnance Survey maps have been thrown a lifeline.
The deadline for school teachers to claim maps for all 11-year-olds in the area has been extended until October 22.
So far 600,000 children across Britain have had OS Explorer Maps, each worth almost £7, reserved for them - but almost 200,000 more could miss out. Now Ordnance Survey has urged local schools which have not booked their free maps to register their orders online at www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/freemaps.
