School Gate Parking
Almost every
school in the Borough has problem with inconsiderate parking at the
start and end of the day. The Road Safety Team holds campaigns such
as "Walk to School Week", and provides leaflets/information to try
to help schools overcome this problem.
Being Seen
We regularly promote the "Be
Safe, Be Seen" message. This campagn runs each October when British
Summer Time ends. We have a range of information leaflets and
posters for schools including the Department for Transport
"Hedgehog" posters.
Seatbelts & Child Restraints
Each year
a number of children are injured as passengers because their
parents have not encouraged them to use the correct restraint. In
partnership with West Mercia Constabulary we run an annual campaign
to raise awareness amongst both pupils and parents.
Don"t Drink and Drive
The Don"t Drink and
Drive campaign is an on-going event. Popular belief is that most
drinking and driving accidents occur over the Christmas period. The
Summer months have in fact the worst record. We promote the belief
that if you are going to drive you should not drink, even one drink
can effect your judgement.
