***SCHOOL BUS SAFETY***
We have been advised that drivers are routinely ignoring school bus red lights in the community. As early as yesterday, there were reports of drivers passing through red lights of school busses. We are asking that all drivers respect the school bus lights and stop when required. School busses carry our most precious cargo and their safety is paramount. We ask that you help us to keep our children safe by abiding by the school bus lights and the law. We will be out enforcing this in an effort to keep everyone safe. Nia;wen.
