Police
turn to local youngsters in stamping down on drink driving
Police
in Burnham-On-Sea are using the artistic talents of local youngsters
to bring home the 'Don’t Drink and Drive' message this Christmas.
 Pupils
at Berrow School have designed a poster which will be used throughout
the Burnham police sector in a bid to publicise the dangers of
drink driving and reduce the number of drink related road traffic
collisions.
Burnham
PCs Tracey Stiles and Pete Wills are behind the scheme, which
aims to show that Avon and Somerset Constabulary is relentless
on drink drivers.
PC
Stiles said: "While this is a very serious message, the children
have had some fun in designing the poster which will be seen all
around Burnham, Highbridge and Cheddar."
"We
want to drive home the message that drinking and driving costs
lives and has a huge impact upon our communities."
"If
people are at a function, office party or out for a Christmas
drink, don’t risk being over the limit."
"If
you are going to have a drink, designate someone else to drive
or arrange your transport home before you go out."
