Today North Wales Police Community Support Officers have attended at Ysgol Cynfran in Llysfaen in order to work with pupils, parents and teachers to stress the importance of parking safely outside our schools.
Officers Preston and Bennion were on hand to provide advice and answer questions.
"We appreciate that this is an issue with most schools and unfortunately it would be impossible to be able to attend every school in order to help with this situation.
"Today the year 6 students who have been working on their road safety badge have worked alongside the police and teachers in order to try and pass the message on in relation to road safety outside of their school.
"The children who were all very enthusiastic, have been on the lookout for any issues and speaking to drivers who have parked inconsiderately or dangerously at the location in hope that this will help to reduce the problem and ultimately avoid any incident where by children are injured as a result of parking.
"Please can we stress the importance of parking correctly and safely, not double parking, on double yellow lines or zig zags. Today was evident of the problems that been occurring and a couple of drivers had been spoken with and advised.
"It is worth noting that parking on Zigzags, whether they are on the side of a main road or outside of a school will land you points on your driving licence. There is no pick up or drop off time allowed.
"If we all work together and take a little more time planning our journeys, considering where is safe to park, we can help resolve these issues.
"Please don’t let our next social media release be a witness appeal for a road related incident outside of a school."
