Children’s Traffic Club – right on cue

In the latest in a series of road safety educational initiatives for children in Carmarthenshire, snooker stars Matthew Stevens and Dominic Dale took time out from the World Championships to back the launch of the Children’s Traffic Club in the county.

They joined the dragon mascot Gari Gosafe to launch the Club in Carmarthen and spoke to children about the importance of road safety.

Hundreds of parents and children attended the event - and similar ones that took place in Llanelli and Ammanford.

"The Children’s Traffic Club helps parents teach their children how to stay safe," said road safety officer Keith Griffiths "It aims to reduce the number of children who get hurt on our roads every day. Most important of all it is fun - the best way for any child to learn."
