POLICE have visited a primary school to speak to drivers about parking issues.

East Lothian Police, through the community policing fund, have purchased a number of “parking buddies”, which were deployed to promote road safety and educate drivers not to park or stop on the zigzag lines outside Preston Tower Primary School in Prestonpans.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said that the visit last Thursday had been “well received” by parents and children.

They said: “Following a return to school after the Easter holidays, officers will be working with schools in the county to progress a program of road safety initiatives.”
