This week, as part of National Road Safety Week, schools across our area are busy doing their bit to help make communities safer.

Through our Junior Road Safety Officer project, pupils are running their own competitions, hosting assemblies and showing videos about the importance of sticking to the speed limit.

Allison Cooper, Safer Roads Countywide Road Safety Officer, said: “Thank you and well done to all our schools taking part in National Road Safety Week.

“Keep up the good work and you will definitely make a difference in your community.”
