One of Rhondda Cynon Taf's longest-serving school crossing patrol officers will be retiring from her role this month. Christine Leach, 73, from the Pontygwaith area has dedicated 38 years to helping the pupils of Pontygwaith Primary School safely cross the road.
Christine, who attended the school herself as a child, first started the road safety role during 1984 and has for the last four decades ensured that generations of children safely walk to and from school each day. According to Christine she is looking forward to her retirement but is certain that she will miss her role.
