Today, year 5 took part in a road safety speed operation in conjunction with officer and PCSO’s from Waterlooville Police station. As part of a drive to improve awareness of road safety in the area, the police set up a speed trap along Stakes Hill Road, past Oaklands School and St Peter’s.

Each group took turns at observing an officer with the speed camera as well as conducting surveys with the drivers who had been caught speeding.

It was extremely insightful for the children to be part of this operation and to raise awareness of the importance of adhering to the speed limit.

The children were courteous and polite to the drivers who consented to being interviewed and conducted themselves brilliantly.
