Extra police patrols will not be restored around Hilltop Infant and Junior Schools, in Hill Avenue, and Beauchamps School, in Beauchamps Drive, Wickford, despite fears over children's safety on the roads.

An action plan to combat problems in the area was implemented three years ago.

However, the new inspector at Wickford police, Richard Croft, revoked the parking agreement, which saw officers patrolling the area.
