PCSP Kids' Court
Newry, Mourne and Down Policing and Community Safety Partnership (PCSP) held a ‘Kids’ Court’ at school today, to help reduce speeding issues on the Strangford Road outside St Mary’s.
Motorists apprehended for speeding outside our school faced a ‘Kids’ Court’ panel of P7 pupils to explain why they had broken the 30mph speed limit as they passed the school. Motorists who did not want to participate in the initiative had to pay the usual speeding fine and accept penalty points on their driving licences.
In total, six speeding drivers attended the Kids’ Court and faced questions from the P7 children about their road safety knowledge, before receiving a lesson from the young judges on the dangers of speeding.
