Parents and pupils march for lower speed limit

More than a hundred people have protested over the speed limit outside a primary school in Penderyn. Locals say the current 40 mph limit is too high and could lead to more accidents. They want the speed in the village reduced to 30mph, and 20mph outside the school. Jane Solomons reports.
