Security boost for Parcyrhun bicycles
Pupils at Parcyrhun School have had their bicycles security marked thanks to an initiative of the school, Dyfed Powys Police and Communities First Pantyffynnon.
Grandparents, parents, children and teachers took part in the initiative to have their equipment security marked by local officers in the area.
PC Kevin Jones said: “This type of event is an excellent opportunity for the police to work with local residents and children to make them aware of how they can play a part in crime prevention.
“Getting the message across of how you can reduce the chances of theft is important, and getting your equipment marked is the first step.”
Emma Martin-Jewell, development worker for Communities First Pantyffynnon, said: “Raising awareness of community safety is an essential part of the work of Communities First and through partnership working we are able to deliver excellent schemes like this.”
Communities First Pantyffynnon also runs a community bike loan scheme for residents, so that those who would like to get fit, or chose to ride a bike instead of driving the car can register, and become a member for free.
Should you wish to find out more about becoming a member, or to get your own bike tagged, please get in touch with the team on 01269 596821.
