Mini Police join National Road Safety Week campaign

MERSEYSIDE Police, have taken out their Mini Police to carry out a campaign to warn speeding drivers in Bootle and Litherland, as part of National Road Safety Week.

Members of Hatton Hill Primary School's Mini Police have stopped around 20 vehicles, on Hatton Hill Road, using the speed gun and issuing warning letters and posters to drivers, advising them to stick to the speed limit.

Later on, members of St Monica's Catholic Primary School, in Bootle, also carried out a campaign near to their school, stopping a further 10 vehicles to issue advice.

Neighbourhood Sergeant Jon Coote said:- "When our young Mini Police stop drivers, the dangers of speeding really hit home. We are so proud of the excellent work the Mini Police are doing with us since their introduction. If this makes people think twice about their driving, especially near to schools, the roads will be much safer for everyone."
