Some good news about our OurJunior Road Safety Officers

Our Junior Road Safety Officers
Natalia, Molly, Ebony Niall and the two Ben's.

I've just receive an e-mail from Shelley Bird and PCSO Cherylin regarding the work of our Junior Road Safety Officers during last week's  which I'd like to share with you.

We are just writing to express our sincere thanks for all the help and support that we received from yourself, your staff and all of the Gelli Primary children, especially the JRSO’s during the Road Safety Campaign. The campaign was a massive success with 49 Partner Agencies working together to raise awareness of road safety issues in the communities of Ystrad, Gelli, Pentre and Ton Pentre.

During the week, residents and children took part in various activities and demonstrations that were all centred around re-educating people on the hazards of speeding, dangerous driving and illegal parking. It was a fantastic team effort and the JRSO’s from Gelli Primary were a total pleasure to work with and impeccably behaved throughout and were a credit to the school. I was specifically asked to pass on to yourself how wonderful the children were by an older resident from Ty Dewi in Ton Pentre.               

A massive thanks again for your help and support during the campaign.

Shelley & Cherylin
