Police issued 13 fixed penalty tickets to parents failing to wear seatbelts, or allowing their children to be driven without them, in a crackdown outside St William’s RC Primary School in Duncombe Road, Lidget Green, Bradford.

Sergeant Jane Slater, of the City Ward Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “It is vital that we get across the importance of wearing a seatbelt and the responsibility of parents to ensure their children are safely strapped in during their journey to and from school.

“We will be undertaking follow-up patrols outside the school, and anyone found causing a parking obstruction or not wearing a seatbelt will be dealt with accordingly.”
