A TALKING car helped deliver a stay safe message to youngsters in Malvern.

Robee gave out road safety advice to more than 200 children at a community safety day at the Lyttelton Rooms, Church Street, on Saturday (January 21).

Another popular attraction was a mocked-up crime scene, where children turned detective to solve the crime and try to win a mountain bike.

Representatives from the police, fire brigade and Malvern Hills District Council's street scene team were on hand throughout the day with answers and information about keeping safe.

A skateboard ramp outside the Priory proved popular with beginners and experts keen to have a go and try out some tricks.

Community safety manager Jenny Lawrence said the day had been a great success.

"The event had a very warm, friendly atmosphere and people especially enjoyed the crime scene competition," she said.

"Everyone had a lot of fun and it was a good opportunity to pick up lots of information about safety."
