School crossing patrol officers thanked as service celebrates 70 years of keeping children safe
--
A celebration event has been held in Pembrokeshire this week to thank local school crossing patrol officers for their dedication, as the national school crossing patrol service reaches its 70th anniversary.
There are 23 school crossing patrol officers in the county who work hard in all weathers to help pupils and other pedestrians cross the road safely on their journey to and from school.
“We wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to all our school crossing patrol officers – past and present,” said Darren Thomas, Head of Infrastructure & Environment.
“They are unsung heroes guiding children safely across our roads in Pembrokeshire, and their commitment is appreciated by many people in the wider community.”
The officers were presented with a commemorative pin badge and a card at the event in County Hall, to mark the 70th anniversary.
