Peasedown Community Trust set to work alongside Peasedown St John Primary School and Avon and Somerset Police with the launch of their new ‘School Safety’ campaign.

Gavin Heathcote and Karen Walker took to social media to say: “A huge thank you to the Avon and Somerset Police Community Trust who have this week awarded us £1,000 for our new ‘School Safety’ Campaign.

“We’ll be working with Peasedown St John Primary School and the local police to purchase new ‘Parking Buddies’ - which will be placed outside of the school at the start and end of the school day to discourage motorists from parking on the pavement.

“The parking buddies display signs encourage parents and visitors to think and be considerate when driving around schools, a method which has been successful in other areas in the past.

“We’re looking forward to seeing our new ‘buddies’ outside the school soon.”
