Drivers, expect to see more children out and about on the roads during the summer.

Remember, children can be unpredictable. Help to keep them safe by slowing down and staying alert.

Today we remember our Father Lt.Col.I.W.Lloyd-Jones M.C RWF who landed with the Reconnaissance Reg at D-Day +1. He fought his way to Germany where he was awarded the M.C for an action on 18 April 1945.  He then saw service in Korea M.I.D, Malaya & Congo. Never forgotten.

Parents are responsible for their children U16. If a child is caught riding on an e scooter then both the rider & their parents face fines & points on their driving licences. U16’s can have their points deferred until they are old enough to apply for a driving licence.
