Eco Planters have been installed at the entrance to Holy Trinity Primary School in Cookstown.
It’s to address on-going concerns regarding anti-social driving in the Fairhill.
The aim of the initiative is to deter drivers from using the school entrance as a turning point.
This was a joint project between Mid Ulster District Council and the Mid Ulster Policing and Community Safety Partnership.
The Eco Planters are made from 100% recycled plastic.
The Chair of Mid Ulster District Council, Councillor Trevor Wilson says the issue of anti-social driving in the Fairhill area of Cookstown is a matter he taken a particular interest in.
“A lot of work has gone on behind the scenes between the Council, the PCSP, residents and various other agencies to come up with a suitable solution to the issue,” he says.
Chair of Mid Ulster PCSP, Councillor Frances Burton, says the placing of these planters is one of several initiatives that the PCSP in partnership with other agencies will be implementing over the next few months.
