Yesterday, the boys and girls of Portpatrick had a visit from our local Community Safety Team for the West of Dumfries and Galloway! <\/span><\/p>\n

The Safety Officers took this opportunity to remind pupils about how they can stay safe in and around the community and keep their community and surrounding safe for others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We discussed issues related to dog fouling and litter – things that just don’t make for the nicest surroundings… Pupils were reminded of the laws regarding these issues and were informed of what can happen to offenders. We also discussed the rising issue with Gulls in the area – no longer seagulls but urban gulls!<\/span><\/p>\n

The officers introduced a competition to design a ‘gull proof’ bin, which we could certainly do with at our school.\u00a0 The winning design might even actually be constructed by D & G council! The officer promised to send details very soon<\/p>\n

We had a lot of great discussions based around how we can keep ourselves and our community safe and the boys and girls proved to be superstar listeners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
