Cheshire West and Chester Council’s Road Safety team and Cheshire Constabulary have announced the winners of the Junior Safety Officers (JSO) awards.

The winners, who promote road and community safety at their school, are from Over St John's CE Primary in Winsford.

Oliver, Lauren, and Seth stood out this year from a pool of nominated pupils, actively promoting safety around their school.

As part of their role, they organised competitions and read out safety messages during assemblies.

The trio's efforts included promoting 'Walk to School Week,' arranging a traffic survey to spot unlawful parking and encouraging active transport modes like walking and cycling.

Their initiatives included The 'bling your bike sessions' and reading road safety tales out for younger year groups at the primary school.

Lauren, one of the winners, said: "I have loved being a JSO this year and helping the younger children to learn more about road safety.

"We all loved reading Teddy Takes a Walk to them."

Their prize, presented by the Council’s Road Safety team, included a trophy, certificates, and cycle accessory vouchers.

Deputy leader of the council and cabinet member for Environment, Transport, and Highways, Councillor Karen Shore, said: "The Council’s Road Safety team and Cheshire Constabulary work in partnership to promote the Junior Safety Officers scheme.

"The JSOs spread safety messages in schools, to family and friends and to their local communities to raise awareness on keeping yourself and others safe.

"All primary schools across Cheshire West and Chester are invited to nominate children in year six to take part each year.

"I’d like to congratulate the winners and finalists on their success, but also thank all of this year’s JSOs for all their hard work."
