A schoolgirl from Porthcawl has won a competition for an anti-drink driving poster for the Christmas and New Year season.
Ten year old Megan Perrin will see her poster appear on local First Cymru buses after she won a competition organised by Bridgend County Borough Council’s Road Safety team.
Featuring the message ‘Be full of Christmas cheer, not full of Christmas beer!’, the poster highlights the dangers of drinking and driving, especially over the festive period, and will be seen all over the county borough.
Local schools were invited to take part in the competition, which was organised by the Road Safety team as one of several initiatives designed to promote greater road safety in Bridgend County Borough.
Statistics have indicated that 10,749 drivers were breath tested by the police throughout Wales during their month-long Christmas campaign last year.
