Children from Moorside Community Primary School have made a dedicated effort to make people aware of motorists ignoring the speed limit in their area and conducted speed checks on Keighley Road.

Karen Scanlon, from the Ovenden Initiative, arranged for Junior Wardens from Moorside Community Primary School to go out with the speed camera to get an idea of how road users are driving in the area around schools.

Future speed checks will continue to take place throughout North and East Halifax with Junior Warden Groups and West Yorkshire Police to tackle nuisance vehicles in the area.
