Keep safe on the road this winter, says council

With the clocks having recently gone back and the shortest day approaching us soon, Denbighshire County Council is urging people to be mindful of road safety this winter. 

The council is reminding parents to help reduce the risks to children by ensuring that they are remembering their road safety. 

Things like encouraging children to wear bright fluorescent clothing and being mindful when crossing the roads are simple steps that can be used to help minimise the risk of getting injured this winter. 

Councillor Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport said: “It is important be mindful of the dark nights and early mornings for both road users and pedestrians. 

“With the nights getting much darker, we are urging parents to ensure their children are taught basic road safety in an effort to help reduce the risk this coming winter.

“Reminding them to look both ways each time they cross the road and ensuring there is plenty of time to cross are simple yet highly effective tips to make sure our children are safe.”
