Bridgend Council has appointed a transport advisor to try and tackle road safety issues it faces at a number of schools across the borough.
The role of the advisor will revolve around reducing traffic issues around schools, advising schools on all matters relating to traffic and transport, and ensuring the local authority has a "co-ordinated approach" to the management of school traffic and transport.
The appointment comes after problems at several schools in Bridgend were reported, in particular at Brynmenyn, Coety, and Pencoed primary schools, where issues had been caused due the layout of school drop-of zones such as high traffic levels and inconsiderate parking.
